Students on Academic Year Programmes are integrated in with students on the GE15, 20 or 30 programme, in the morning or afternoon, depending on the number of hours per week they book. Part of the course programme should be examination preparation, as non-EU students are required to complete one of the internationally recognised English language examination programmes when enrolled on long-stay (25 week+) programmes in Ireland. Once students have entered Ireland they will be required to register at the immigration office in Dublin and open an Irish bank account - Delfin will assist with all aspects of this process.
Right to work
Students from outside the EEA on Academic Year programmes have the right to work 20 hours per week during the course, and 40 hours per week only during holidays from June to September & 15 December to 15 January inclusive.
Awards
All programmes include preparation for one of the Cambridge English exams or the IELTS exam. Please note that courses at Delfin English School are not on the NFQ (National Framework of Qualifications) and students who complete an English course at Delfin Dublin do not receive an NFQ award. Delfin English Schools in Dublin and London are official Preparation Centres for the Cambridge English Language Assessment Main Suite Exams.
Levels available - Elementary to Advanced.
