We wanted to offer you an update on the current situation in Ireland. Much like the rest of the world, the situation in Ireland is under constant review by the Irish government and we are hopeful it will be for the better.

The government announced a phased easing of public health restrictions, starting on the 12th April 2021. Language schools, adult learning centres and universities will remain primarily online for the time being. The measures announced will continue up to the 4th of May, at which point the situation will be revised and further areas of activities will be taken under consideration.

Travelling to Ireland

International students are being encouraged by government not to travel to Ireland at this time.  However, the country is not closed for what is called essential travel and we are hopeful that reopening will begin to happen from May onwards.

INIS is advising pprospective students seeking to enter the State to wait until in-person tuition has been resumed. Failure to do so may result in such students being refused leave to land and being refused registration. We are constantly updating our website with relevant information and latest official communication if you want to find out more details.

With regards to current procedures and measures in place, we have compiled a guide on our website with the latest information for language schools around the protocols prepared as dictated by the government.  ELE Protocols - https://www.gci.ie/student-guide/

Vaccination in Ireland

The rollout of COVID-19 vaccines is underway with nearly 1 million vaccines being administered already. It is expected that four in five adults will have received at least one dose of vaccine by the end of June. 

We will keep you updated on any further announcements or changes regarding this. All decisions regarding classes will, of course, be made with Public Health advice to ensure the safety of both our students and staff.
