What our students say

The best thing about Cork is the peace and quiet that I can feel here. Moreover, people are kind and friendly with an infinite patience. I came to ACET one year ago with a partner agency and they introduced me to them as a family-run school. In ACET I have found very well-prepared teachers who always do their best for us. They helped me to get confident with English. Also, any time we had an inconvenience or we didn’t feel comfortable they helped us. They always tried to find a solution. I would recommend coming to ACET to study because you will find a friendly and helpful staff, who are always concerned about you, it is a cosy school where you can feel at home.

The best thing about Cork is the people, they are very friendly, the city is also small, so you can go everywhere on foot and you’ll know the important places in a few days. I discovered ACET because my brother came to study a few years ago and he recommended it to me. I have already been almost 3 months and I never thought I could ever speak fluent English, something I can already do. I really recommend ACET because they are going to help you to reach your goals and develop new skills that will make you feel comfortable with the language. I also had learnt different skills thanks to the nice teachers.

The best thing about cork are the beautiful streets, local shops, views from the river Lee and the landscapes. I discovered ACET because a friend of mine studied here years ago and she said really good things about it, so I decided to come and learn English two months ago. My teacher helped me a lot, he is a very good teacher and he makes the classes very special for us. The best thing about the school are the teachers, they always help you with everything, the school also organizes activities to make new friends and they also are very good at looking for an accommodation for each student. I feel very good studying here and I really recommend it because I would like everyone who wants to study English to have this beautiful and special experience.

"This is my 3rd time at ACET. Cork is a beautiful city for living and learning English. I recommend visiting Cobh harbour, where the Titanic made its last stop and Blarney Castle. Oisin, Patrick, Camille and Ciara at the best teachers by far. The administration team are like my family. I LOVE ACET."

Salvador Gonzalez Leandro

I discovered ACET because I was looking for an institute with the best accreditation. I have been here for five weeks and I think that this school has the best teachers with the best interpersonal qualities. My teacher Leonardo helped me a lot to improve my English. The kindness, politeness, and patience of the people here and the city of Cork is truly beautiful. The staff also helped me with my bank account and my PPS number. All in all, I think that ACET is a fantastic English school with the best certifications and accreditations in Ireland and Europe.
