The Standard General English course is the most in-demand course that CES offers their students, mainly due to offering an ideal weekly commitment of 20 hours of lessons that guarantees participants’ steady progression over the weeks and months - all without taking up too much of your time. Each lesson lasts for 55 minutes at their Dublin location, which is the longest that CES provides.
You can expect your morning classes to be delivered by two different teachers. Grammar and accuracy are usually worked on separately from their more conversation-oriented lessons, as their priority is to make sure that students are able to use grammar structures accurately before putting them to use.
There are a total of 7 level groups that you may be assigned to, ranging from Beginner all the way up to Proficiency.

Dublin is English-speaking for all intents and purposes, but you can also find a considerable number of people to speak Gaelic with due to Ireland keeping their native language alive in the education system. This is a city that offers reliable public transport, and a more relaxed pace of life than many other capital cities in Europe.
You can expect to have your meals provided by your host family, who will also try their best to help you find your feet and settle into life in Dublin in any way they can. HLI has positioned Local Organiser staff in Dublin for the purposes of resolving any potential small problems that might arise during your studies.
With this programme, you will be completely immersed in the target language and culture. The private lessons will take place at the teacher’s home and are tailored to your needs and interests. The programme also includes accommodation in a private bedroom (Sunday to Sunday) and 3 meals per day with the teacher’s family.
You can customise your stay by booking additional lessons, activities, courses for specific purposes, private bathroom, accommodation of superior standard, airport transfer and close supervision for young students.

This morning course of 15 lessons per week is for those who are at a lower minimum language level, covering A2, A2+, B1 and B1+. This covers the language with enough detail for students to successfully deal with any situation at work, home or in a social setting. The focus of the course is communication skills.
The General English course from IBAT College Dublin is semi-intensive, meaning that you will receive 15 classes every week from their professional teaching staff. This lower number of weekly classes allows students to keep some of their free time for themselves, while also pushing their English skills to the next level.
Class sizes are limited to 15 people per group, so this option would suit those learners who feel comfortable in a medium-sized group setting, where there will be plenty of new faces to meet and practise your English with.
The approach of the school is to mix formal and informal language learning - reading, writing, speaking and listening, with conversation activities in order to reinforce practical skills for everyday situations.
