The program includes 20 lessons per week in international learning groups. Following a language test taken on the first day, each student will be placed in their corresponding English course level. Students will receive a complete program consisting in vocabulary, conversation, comprehension and grammar... Each lesson is equivalent to 45 actual minutes of class.

The program boasts a diverse schedule of activities, excursions and sports.
On Mondays there will be a full day excursion to the most emblematic nearby places such as Glendalough, Malahide Castle, Kilkenny and its castle, Phoenix Park or The Boyne Valley. During part-day excursions, the visits will be in and around Dublin to the places of most interest - Dublin Castle, Dublinia, Trinity College, St Patrick's Cathedral, the Viking Adventure Center.
