Atlas Language School is located in Portobello House, a beautiful landmark building that overlooks the Grand Canal in the south of the city. The school is conveniently located near Harcourt and Charlemont Stations on the Green LUAS line and a number of bus stops and only 15 minutes walking distance from Dublin city centre.

詢問問題I confirm that at Atlas Junior Program we have from Elementary to Advanced level.
He can leave Ireland and re-enter if he pays for the multi-entry visa. Of course, he can join a local gym that offers swimming. The school staff will happily assist him in finding the ideal version for him.
You are absolutely right, he does not need to pay the Christmas Supplement as he will not be spending Christmas there.
It is fine for both students to share a twin room in the host family. All students will have to take the bus to school each day so it’s important they know this. Also, what about the trips and excursions which involve a few hours bus journey? Yes, this should be fine. Hot lunch Monday-Friday in the school canteen is included in the price, packed lunch from the families at weekends. We will provide these details once the booking is made on the booking confirmation letter.
The bus journey will be around 15 minutes each way to school. I’m afraid we won’t be able to stop many times on the journey so if this student’s complaint is very serious, I’m not sure he should come, to be honest.
I’m afraid the full day trips on Saturdays are compulsory for all students. We wouldn’t have any other activities on offer and the families expect the students to go on the excursion
All our Junior families are located about 30 minutes by bus from school, as you may know we have a private bus who take students from the family to the school and vice verse. Students have pick up points close to their families house, and the bus stop at the pick up points to get them. We can try to find a family walking distance for the student however he would not be able to join the private coach then, and he would have to make his own way to the school. Regarding the trips I am afraid most of the activities they will be using the private bus and they can be from 30 minutes to 2 hours on the bus, to be very honest if the journey is as long as 2 hours they might make a stop, however considering the number of students we have to manage and we are responsible for, I am afraid making more than one stop would not be possible.
Regarding the fact he would like to start on Thursday we could exceptionally organize that to him, however if he is arriving on Tuesday and leave on Thursday I would strongly recommend to him to start the course on Wednesday 5th of November and finishes on Wednesday 3rd of December.
I have sent an e-mail to our examination and compliance manager regarding acceptance and CAE exam dates I will get back to you later today, but I think we'll be able to make an exception since she would be staying for so long! Does the student already have a FCE? Regarding the timetable, I have just spoken to the Dublin team who guaranteed 4 lessons of CAE preparation per week on Tuesdays and Thursdays evenings (19:00 to 20:50) with the possibility to pushing this number to 6 lessons per week, 10 lessons of A2Z Method and the possibility of tailoring the remaining 10 lessons according to her needs: she could for example do Skills or Grammar and Vocabulary, which she could be able to decide when she arrives, what she would like to do. We would then possibly reach a total of 24 lessons per week of a course tailored just for her needs. If you could maybe discuss this with the student and give me some feedback, I could then pass it on to the academic team in Dublin. We could then see exactly what she wants and offer the most suitable for her.
It will depend on her current level of English, the CAE exam is a C1 level test. If the student is currently A2, by the end of the 18 weeks she should be able to pass the PET (B1) or FCE (B2) exam. We will have an FCE exam preparation course from March - June and another one from June - August. We recommend the students to join our morning course plus the exam preparation course in the evening. We normally recommend our students to book the exam on the following link: http://alcexams.ucd.ie/cambridge/bookexam/
<http://alcexams.ucd.ie/cambridge/bookexam/ We offer the exam preparation, but we are not an examination center. Students must book a place for the exam in University College Dublin. The age should not be a problem.
We currently do not have a full-time CAE preparation course available in Dublin, but only in Manchester at the moment. Since the Dublin school is smaller than our Manchester school, we are able to offer a more tailored course. Regarding the CAE examination, this is the link that was given by my colleague. I believe that dates for July are not available yet! I believe that they will be able to book online, she would also be able to ask the student support team to help her with her booking. While students usually have to buy course books and materials in our London and Manchester schools, material fees are free in Dublin, where teachers lend course books to the students and provide materials for modules. Regarding activities, please see below for more information:
Monday – Movie Club (at school)
Tuesday – School Outing (an admission fee might sometimes be charged for
these outings)
Wednesday – Walking Tour
Thursday – Tea Party (at school)
Friday – Night out (drinks in the pub) - only for 18 + students.
Weekends – Day trips are organized to various places around Ireland:
Galway, Cliffs of Mother, Belfast and Titanic, Giants Causeway, etc.
There will be UK public holidays during your clients course, therefore, four school days have been automatically added to the end of her course. Would she not like to benefit from these days? If not, I will take them off the invoice manually. Also, could you please ask your student to take our online test before confirming, in order to assess if she is the right level for CAE? http://www.a2z-english.com/testmyenglish.
The price is a package price, that includes the course, accommodation, activities, excursions and the private bus. The airport transfer is an additional money and the students can book additional evening options if they like.
To check availability I need to know if they would like to have a class only for them or mixed if they all are C1 level. Please find our online assessment test link below:

If they are a closed group we can plan a program special for them including different kind of activities they might be interested in, however the price would be different so we would have to do a new quotation according to what they are looking to do. Otherwise our normal Program includes the following:
- Access to afternoon electives, we offer 3 afternoons week electives as Pronunciation class, English Through Music, Irish life and culture, film club among others.
- Access to Social and cultural Program at discounted prices
- End-of-course certificate
As the student is a complete beginner we would advise private lessons first just to accustom and then the student can join the open classes.
I confirm that students with different gender can share a room in the residence as long as they are not under age.
During summer months July and August Griffith Hall residence can place 2 students in the same room, and if students are looking to stay in a twin room together outside summer, or any time of the year Terenure Park would be the residence available.
