Quality is our primary objective and as an ISO 9001 accredited organisation we have always been committed to on-going re-evaluation of our programmes. We welcome client feedback to help us with this and although teaching is our core business we believe that in order to provide a quality language programmes we also need to provide quality auxiliary services and this is what we do.

Classroom

Academic

• All teachers at the Emerald Cultural Institute have university degrees and are trained to teach English as a Foreign Language. Many have additional qualifications in specialist subject areas.
• Our teachers take a keen interest in students' progress which is also regularly monitored by the Director of Studies.  Teachers also participate in training seminars and attend regular meetings to discuss course content.
• Most of our teachers have lived and worked as teachers abroad and have first-hand knowledge of other cultures, customs and traditions.

Accommodation

• Students at the Emerald Cultural Institute are assured of personal attention at all times.  In addition to the academic and administrative staff, we have a full-time Accommodation Officer. She and her team are always on hand to answer any questions students might have regarding any aspect of their accommodation.

Student Welfare Office

• We have a permanent Student Welfare Officer at the institute who operates the institute's ongoing social & cultural programme and who is always on hand to answer student's questions. These can range from help with renewing a visa application, to providing information on places to go in Ireland, to explaining particular Irish customs and habits, to simply sharing some time talking.
