Multi Destination Course UK and Ireland
Experience Two Cultures While Learning one Language
Our Multi-destination course – UK & Ireland means you can now learn English in two countries while completing your studies, giving you the opportunity to live in the UK and Ireland and learn more about the culture, history, and society of both. For example, you can start off studying in London and finish your course in Dublin. Or can start your course in either England, Scotland or Ireland – it’s up to you. You’ll take classes every weekday morning and spend afternoons soaking up the local culture on our social programmes.
Key Info
Details may vary between course location
Right from the start, our experienced teachers will help you focus on the four crucial skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. From Monday to Friday in the classroom, our course is designed to make sure you are always building your language skills, while gradually increasing your vocabulary and knowledge of grammar at the same time. You can choose to take our Standard English course or Intensive programme – or even mix the two. This course is designed to maximise flexibility and allow you learn English in a way that works best for you.
Over just a few months, your language skills will grow more and more every day, giving you the confidence to use your English in real-life situations.
What you need to know
Designed for beginner-level students, you will take 20/30 lessons per week from 9am-1pm with each lesson lasting 45-55 minutes depending on location. You need to be a minimum of 16 years of age.
You can begin your Standard, Intensive and IELTS Prep courses every Monday morning. If you are taking Cambridge, IELTS Express, Business English and Teacher Training courses, these will have specific start dates and times during the year which they run.
In Dublin, your classes run Monday to Friday, starting at 09:00 and ending at 13:00. Classes break at 11:00 for 20 minutes until 11.20.
If you are taking the Intensive Course, afternoon classes start at 14:00 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, finishing at 16:00.
In the UK, your classes run Monday to Friday, starting at 09:30 and ending at 13:00. Classes break at 11:00 for 30 minutes until 11:30.
If you are taking the Intensive Course, afternoon classes start at 14:00 on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays, finishing at 16:30.
Our school buildings open at 08:30 Monday to Friday and are not open at the weekend.
Your lessons are developed by your teachers and are designed specifically to meet your needs. Every week a new programme will be shared with you so that you will be aware of that week’s learning goals.
All classes at CES use a coursebook. These are available from reception and form an essential part of your lessons. Please note, each level uses a different book, so you will need to purchase subsequent textbooks as you progress.
You will sit a placement test on your first day at our school. This will assess your grammar, writing and speaking skills and is used by our academic teams to place you in the most appropriate class.
We offer a system of continuous assessment during your study and at the end of each week our academic team will discuss which students should move to a different level in order to maximise their language experience.
If you feel you are in the wrong level, speak to your class teacher or to the Director of Studies.
Homestay
We carefully choose people and families to host hundreds of students every year. You’ll get to share meals with your host in their home while practising your English in a fun and relaxed setting.
Residential
If you need self-catering student accommodation, we can offer you many options, dependent on availability, in Dublin, London, Vancouver, Toronto, Leeds and Worthing.
Enjoy life in the UK and Ireland just like the locals do. Our Social and Cultural programme is a great way to improve your English, get to know your classmates, and truly experience and understand your new culture. From museum visits to sports afternoons and everything in-between, you’ll be kept busy.
