These closed groups comprise 12-15 students per group.

         For over twenty years, we have offered short courses for closed groups from Scandanavia, Germany, Austria, Italy and France.

         From Scandanavia, Germany, Austria and Italy we have offered short courses for pupils who need to improve their English or are preparing for their final examinations at school.

         From France and Italy we have organised tailor-made courses for teachers who need to brush up their English and discover new ideas in the classroom.

         By the way, Bluefeather was the first language school in Ireland to create a Teacher Training course - by correspondence!  We called it the 'telephone book' because it looked just like one, or at least was just as big! The idea was to focus on the practical skills involved in teaching rather than on the theory.Then, in 1991, Dr Kevin McGinley of the DLI  and the renowned TEFL Training Institute in Dublin city, invited us to be a founder member of the ATT, the Association for Training in TEFL, which went on to produce no less than ten Teacher Training courses up to diploma level for teachers of English from Ireland and from all over the world!

         We look forward to hearing from groups from other countries in Europe and will be delighted to prepare a course for them they will never forget!

         These English language refresher courses incorporate an insight into Irish history and culture and include a wide range of social and cultural outings and events.

         Students never forget these unique visits to Bluefeather. This is what we have always believed: the Bluefeather experience is more than just language learning; it is an experience of discovery and self-discovery.
