Student Reviews
Pedagogically speaking, we are given all sorts of support, such as online support material given by the teachers according to our needs. The teachers are very high profile and committed to helping us develop and improve our English skills.
After 3 months studying in ATC Dublin I can tell everybody…ATC should be your choice if you want to learn English in a serious but friendly school. Moreover, ATC is located in the very old town of Dublin, which will let you enjoy all the best of that vibrant city.

In a typical week, students taking the Cambridge C1 Advanced course can expect to be assigned tasks to complete as homework, these tasks usually support the intended learning outcomes of the week through exam-style writing practice, vocabulary expansion and development of reading skills. As well as homework assignments, students are assessed by the class teacher through exam focused assessment with each week specifically focusing on a key skill area. Teachers at ATC Language Schools use the communicative approach, taking a learner-centred approach with a strong emphasis on communicative tasks aimed at developing the necessary skills to succeed in the Cambridge C1 Advanced exam. Students use meaningful and authentic language to promote learning in a motivating and engaging setting.

Prior to taking their final exam, students will sit a mock exam during the final week of the course. This mock exam is carried out in exam-like conditions and includes a recorded speaking exam. ATC’s experienced exam team provides detailed feedback to the students on all aspects of their mock exam as well as detailed feedback on their speaking test. In addition to the Cambridge C1 Advanced exam preparation course syllabus, ATC recommends students allow for 1-2 hours each day of self-study; this can be done through tasks set by the teacher, revising points covered from the course already, or using the Cambridge C1 Advanced exam practice from ATC’s e-learning platform.
