Twin English Centre Dublin

Twin have crossed the Irish sea to form our new English Centre in Ireland’s capital, Dublin. Twin English Centre Dublin (formerly Alpha College of English) is just a 2-min walk to the famous Dublin Spire. Our range of professional and general English courses makes our school an ideal place for students who want to improve their English.

Overview

Twin English Centre Dublin (formerly Alpha College of English) was founded in 1989 as an executive training centre to provide high level management and technical courses in English to non native-English speakers. Since then we have expanded our course offerings to include General English courses with a focus on Business and Specialised Programmes.

Over the last 30 years we have stayed true to the founding principle of offering the highest quality standards to our students from around the world. Last year we welcomed 52 different nationalities to Dublin and we always try to ensure the best possible nationality mix in all our classes.

We are fully recognised by the Irish department of Education. We are also members of two of the most prestigious quality marks in the International Language Travel industry – EAQUALS and IALC.
