Transition Year Tours

Our Transition Year Workshops have proven to be a popular choice with schools throughout Ireland. There are various language options available including oral programmes, grammar workshops, as well as classes which cover areas of reading and written production. One of our most popular courses is the ‘Introduction to the Leaving Cert.’ syllabus in which students study the actual layout of the Leaving Cert. exam, mark allocations per questions, study technique and various areas from the paper.

Introduction of New Languages in Transition Year:
Many schools avail of the opportunity in Transition Year to introduce students to various different languages for a period during the academic year. For example, students who will study French for the Leaving Certificate, may be introduced to German or Spanish for a term during the year. Our programmes are ideal in this instance as classes are targeted and specific and thus create an ideal environment to introduce students to a new language over a short period of time.
