About North West Academy of English

The North West Academy is a language school based in the ancient and historical city of Derry and is accredited by British Council (with 6 points of excellence for: Strategic Management, Staff Management, Leisure Opportunities, Premises, Academic Management, Academic Staff Profile ) and ISO 9001-2015. We are an exam centre for IELTS, CAMBRIDGE and TRINITY. The school also provides CertTESOL training, CLIL teacher training and ERASMUS and Mobiity programmes.

The North West Academy has over 20 years experience in providing quality language, professional development and cultural programmes to groups and individuals of all ages. Learning a new language opens a door to a new world and we are very proud to be part of that journey. The world has changed a lot over the last twenty years and we have changed with it. The needs of learners have changed and our teaching methods and programmes have had to adapt to meet the challenges.

Derry is a perfect location for learning English. It is ideally located and very safe and friendly. Situated close to the border between the Republic of Ireland and N.Ireland, Derry is the only completely walled city in Ireland. It is a very musical and creative city which is famous for its “Legenderry” welcome. We are also close to the Causeway Coast where “Game of Thrones” is filmed.
We recently opened a branch in Donegal, in the Republic of Ireland.
