Pedro Spain 28/08/2013 ✓ Booked with LanguageBookings.com
Solo tienen dos clases, es mentira que tengan todos los niveles que dicen en la web. Ademas esta la clase llena de españoles

Reply from Griffith College Limerick: Hola Pedro! Thank you for your review. As we are only open one year we are a small school which I would think benefits the students in small class sizes. As you know, each student has a level test on entering the school and their level and class is then discussed with them and they are placed correctly; if the class does not suit the student level then a new class is opened or private lessons are provided. Regarding the nationalities, while the many students are Spanish, we do not have any classes where there are more than 65% Spanish! We do welcome all feedback and will be sure to look into any comments you have made. I hope you had a safe flight home and are enjoying the rest of your summer! Thanks

The teachers are really friendly, they have a very close relationship with students and they are always there to lend you a hand.
Bernardo Spain 27/08/2012
Mi experiencia en Griffith College Limerick fue estupenda; no sólo por la calidad de los profesores y método de enseñanza, tambié por la cantidad de actividades y excursiones que la escuela organiza. Griffith College Limerick te da la oportunidad de mejorar tu nivel de inglés y, además, aprender sobre la cultura e historia irlandesa.

It´s a good place to learn Eglish and meet new people. The teachers are fantastic.
Noelia Spain 23/08/2012
El único problema que encontré fueron las instalaciones. Éstas no eran las adecuadas para la enseñanza, ya que algunos días teníamos que ir a la sala donde tomábamos el café porque no teníamos otra, todas las demás estaban ocupadas por cursos o por otros niveles de inglés. Las mesas eran incómodas, y algunas salas tenían sillas con tabla para escribir, en las cuales no tenías el espacio suficiente. La enseñanza estupenda y muy divertida, al igual que los profesores. Hacían actividades muy amenas

Reply from Griffith College Limerick: Hola Noelia, muchas gracias por sus comentarios. Estamos de acuerdo con usted, nosotros tuvimos problemas con la distribución de oficinas en nuestra escuela abre por primera ya que tenemos que compartir el edificio con muchos otros cursos en Griffith College. Hemos trabajado para resolver este problema y, de hecho, el Colegio tiene planes de mudarse a un edificio más grande en el futuro cercano. Nos alegra que haya disfrutado del curso y esperamos que hayan tenido la oportunidad de practicar Inglés desde que regresó a España.

How do I book a language course / accommodation?
 
Booking with us is really easy. You just have to go to the link of the school you are interested in. Where it says COURSE and then START, you select the dates you wish to study there. Afterwards, you select how many weeks you want to study.

You then select the course you wish to attend. You can add optional services, such as accommodation and airport transfer. If you would like to add these additional services, you need to go further down the page where you will find the section relating to ACCOMMODATION. You select the option of the type of accommodation you want (You do not have to select the dates here if they are the same as the course - they are automatically selected).
After the Accommodation, you have another option,  that of TRANSFER. This option allows you to book a transport that will pick you up at the airport and will take you to your residence or host family.

Once you have selected all these options, on your right hand side, you are going to see a summary of your reservation with all the information about the course and the accommodation, together with their prices. Also, the deposit you have to pay will be displayed there. You just have to press the Orange Button that says BOOK NOW and this will take you to another page to enter your personal details. When you are booking you only have to pay the little deposit. After that, we will contact the school and request your booking. When your booking is confirmed by the school or host, they will hold your place until the your booking balance is paid in full. The same applies for the accommodation. You can pay with credit card, a PayPal account or, for most countries, bank transfer; as you prefer. This deposit you pay now will be discounted from the total price. The rest of the money will not have to be paid until 15 days before your course starts. In any case, you will be receiving emails about your deposit payments; and also, reminders about the rest of the money when it needs to be paid.
What are the benefits of booking through LanguageBookings.com?
Our discount: When the school offers it, you get the LanguageBookings discount and pay less than the school's own price list. You will see it on the school and course pages.

Help in your language: We answer your questions in your language, before and after you book.

We deal with the school for you: If the price, dates or accommodation change, we sort it out with the school on your behalf.

Book with a deposit only: The deposit is part of the course price, not an extra charge. If you pay by card, it is only authorised when you book and charged once the school confirms your place. If the school cannot confirm it, you are not charged, or the deposit is refunded in full.
When do the courses start?
The start dates of intensive and standard language courses are generally flexible. If you have some basic knowledge of the language, you will be able to start any Monday of the year at almost any school. If you are a total beginner, courses usually start once or twice a month.
You should be aware that language schools have more students in July and August than during any other time of year, which means that course fees, housing prices and the overall cost of living are often more expensive during this time. If you would like to book a course in July or August, you should do so very early: schools have limited spots and might be booked well in advance for the high season. Your chances to get your preferred housing type are also greater if you book your course early. Housing options near the school are especially difficult to secure in the summer and tend to fill up quickly.
Language courses during the low season (September to June) are not only less expensive, but also have smaller classes. If you are able to wait to take your courses during this time you will pay less for your courses, and  you may even receive better housing, since demand is much lower. Please, review this information within the language course details on the language school page.
How do I know if a place is available?
 You can find the availability status underneath each price on the school / host page. Nevertheless, if you submit a reservation request and your place is not available, the deposit paid will be 100% refunded.
