​Student Guide - English Classes

Classes

For the majority of our English courses, you can start any Monday. 

Some courses have specific fixed start dates: Cambridge Exam Preparation courses, Foundation, Pre-Masters, 50+ Programmes, Erasmus+ Teacher Training and Group Programmes (except bank holidays when courses start on Tuesday). All prices are per week except for Foundation and Exam Preparation programmes.

All lessons are 45 minutes long.

Group class size is 14 all year round. On the English for 30+ programme the class size is max 8. Minimum numbers, minimum level and minimum age are required for some courses. Minimum age is 17 during low season and 16 in high season.

Class attendance is obligatory. 

Your attendance is recorded on paper and on our school management system. If you do not attend you will receive a notification email from the address: attendance@gci.ie. You can use this email address for all attendance-related matters and of course you can call the school office directly. 

You can monitor your attendance rate directly on your Student Portal as explained during your Student Orientation on the first day.
