The Center is also accredited by EAQUALS, an association of language training providers adhering to a demanding set of criteria for membership and committed to the achievement of excellence in the area of language teaching.

Accredited by the Irish Department of Education and Science as a school for the teaching of English as a foreign language, and is inspected by ACELS (the Advisory Council for English Language Schools).

The Trainers

All trainers at the Training Center in Dublin have been accepted by UCLES after having undergone an extensive trainer-in-training programme. Tutors are all practising teachers of English who divide their time between teaching and teacher training. They are highly qualified and experienced both as teachers and trainers and themselves take part in ongoing training programmes, such as attending conferences and in-house development sessions, in order to keep abreast of the cutting edge of the ELT profession.

The tutors have worked internationally and bring a wide range of key experience, qualifications and knowledge to the course. All trainers undergo a rigorous selection and training process that is monitored by Cambridge University.
