ACCOMMODATION
We recommend that you stay with local host families,
as this will provide an excellent insight into the
English way of life and help you with your English.
However, it is possible to arrange bed and breakfast
or half-board accommodation at a range of local
guest houses and hotels within walking distance of
the Centre.
TESTING AND MATERIALS
For this course, students must take a language test
online before they come, so that
they can be placed in the correct level when they
arrive after a short interview on the Monday of their
course. Students receive all teaching materials,
including a textbook and a file which is theirs to
keep. There is free library and internet use and all
students receive a leaving certificate showing their
level at the end of their course.
