What Have Previous Participants Experienced?
If you’re curious to know other teachers’ experiences with out English courses, read more about their experience on our blog.
In August 2026, teachers joined us in Dublin for beginner and intermediate English programmes focused on speaking confidence. The programmes were developed for a school returning to HESL after previous training in 2025 focused on CLIL and Basic English for Primary School Teachers.
Following the positive feedback from participants, we have made these programmes part of our regular course offer, giving other teachers the opportunity to join and develop their English communication skills.
