GENERAL ENGLISH
Dublin Cultural Institute offers a wide range of courses at various levels to suit each student's individual needs. All students are tested before the start of the course. The level test gives us an idea of the student’s proficiency in English. The student will be then placed in a class suitable for his/her level. Students are advised to stay in the same level for a period of time before they are able to move up to a higher level. When a student is ready to move up to the next level he/she will be advised to take a written and an oral exam. Should the student be successful in both assignments he/she will be able to move up to the next level. On successful completion of the course of studies students will be awarded a school certificate.

My time in DCI was amazing.The school is in the heart of the city center and you can go to any touristic place just by walking.The classes are not crowded-7 people most-and that's awesome!You really get one on one time with the teachers and the lessons feel more like a gathering of friends.And the best part is the teachers for sure. Aonghus and Ian are really the best teachers you can get out there.They are very friendly,funny and capable teachers and they make coming to the school a blast! I learnt quite a lot from them.Thank you DCI for making my 4 weeks in Dublin very memorable!

studied General EnglishAmazing school, amazing teachers!!
My experience in DCI was really good since the first day. The teachers are so close to the students and they give personal attention to everyone of them. The classrooms are for small groups, so that way you will have the opportunity to practice your speaking much more .Also, being in small groups is an advantage because they will listen to any of your doubts and if one day you want to learn about and specific topic is not a problem helping you.
Furthermore, the location of the school is a benefit if you want to explore the streets of Dublin because is right in the city centre and near the most symbolic places to visit. Besides that, the atmosphere in the school with the students and the teachers is very enjoyable and you will feel like home.
