What our students say

"I think that Cork is a great city to live in and to study. The people are friendly and they can help you in many ways they can. The school is near the heart of the city centre and I like that. The teachers are great and very dynamic to student needs. I am delighted with the students in my apartment and I like to socialise with them."

Pere Nolla Pascual

"My overall experience of studying in ACET is really good. In the classrooms I was quite impressed with the teachers and also the students because of their similar interest to learn. I learned many things and many new words, and I also found the additional afternoon classes to be greatly beneficial. The family that hosted me were very patient and they were a pleasure to know and talk to. I had a positive experience in Cork. I saw many new places, spectacular scenery and met people from all over the world. I think that I will be back again."
