    About Dorset College - School of English

    Dorset College delivers English-language programmes from several buildings in Dublin 1, including Belvedere Place, Great Charles Street and Dorset Street Lower. General English is offered in morning and afternoon schedules, while Business English requires at least B2-level proficiency. Students complete a placement assessment before joining a class, and the school states a maximum of 15 learners for General English. Its English-language provision is recognised by ACELS, with Eaquals and ELE Ireland memberships stated on the official FAQ. Students can request host-family accommodation, student residences and Dublin Airport transfers. The college also provides guidance on Trinity ISE and other recognised examinations. Its January 2026 tuition table distinguishes course duration and mandatory extras from advertised weekly tuition.
