Ireland

Come and join us in Ireland! We have spent time researching, networking and exploring possibilities to offer our courses in Ireland.

We wanted to find a venue where we could provide teachers with the typical Cumbria CLIL blend of practical course content, English language immersion and cultural experience on a local level. We have found just that in the little town of Athlone.

Athlone or Baile Átha Luain

A small town of approximately 20,000 inhabitants which is in the heart of Ireland, midway between Dublin and Galway. Situated on the River Shannon, Athlone has a castle, the oldest bar in Ireland (!) and is steeped in history.

It is not a very touristy place, so you will have a taste of the “real” Ireland here and we found the people to be really friendly. If you choose Ireland for your course, you will have the opportunity to visit both Dublin and Galway and we can also arrange a school visit as required.

Accommodation: Hotel accommodation.

Venues: Conference and local meeting rooms in Athlone and also Galway.

Meals: We can book lunches and local restaurants for your group as required.

These courses are eligible for Erasmus Plus funding.

Our clients have said:

We all managed to stay talking English, which I thought was fantastic.

I enjoyed the course days, the excursions, the moments with the team, the free time and the project work.

The hike at the end of the course was a nice activity.

The helpfulness of staff and other people involved in the course was excellent. Janet, Becky and Claudia were marvellous. I was amazed by their knowledge, professionalism, and sense of humour!
