Newsflash

Alessandro, a 35 year old Italian employee in a telecommunications company, first came to Dublin as a tourist in April 2007. He found the city pleasant and the people friendly but was disappointed that he could not speak with the locals as his English was not always sufficiently fluent.

At the time Alessandro was not very satisfied with his job in Italy and he was sure that improving his English skills would turn out to be a good asset for his career and his life in general. He then decided to take a six-month break from work and registered for a course with Alpha College, which he thought was not the cheapest school in Dublin but was Eurocentres’ representative school in Dublin. He soon realised that he had made the right choice when choosing Alpha College. “If you need something in Alpha, or if you have any problems, you will get assistance immediately. The staff is highly efficient there.” Alessandro found that in Alpha we pay attention to our students, we advise them and help them.
