After teaching in ICOT for three years, I can say that I could not ask for a better school to teach and maximise my potential. ICOT cares about meeting the overall needs of its teachers, thus providing support to all its students as well. This way, our students will not only learn English but will also have an opportunity to try different activities, explore Dublin and Ireland, and meet amazing people around the world
IVANA PETROVIC ZUKIC
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF STUDENTS - DUBLIN
I wish to extend a warm welcome to all of our students to Ireland in general and ICOT in particular. Traditionally the Irish regard it as a point of honour that visitors to our shores are able to look back on their stay in Ireland with fond memories of a very pleasant and productive time in their lives. We hope that you too will be able to experience the same fellowship with Ireland and the Irish as well as achieving the degree of fluency in English to which you aspire.
