Congratulations MarianneOur marketing assistant Marianne Curci got engaged this weekend!

Her boyfriend Alan whisked her off to Paris for a romantic weekend (which included a very romantic Rugby match - they were watching, not playing!) without telling her where they were going. Alan then brought Marianne to the famous Sacre Coeur and proposed on the steps of the church.

All of us wish the happy couple all the best!

Alpha Testimonials

My last visit to Alpha was the 9th of August.  It was my second time.  I decided to go back after staying there for three months last year and passing my civil servant examination thanks to the good level of English acquired there.

For me Alpha is the best place for learning English, having a great time with everybody and visiting Ireland in your spare time. The school possesses really qualified teachers, they are kind and they are really helpful if any trouble occurs.

Not only the school offers outdoor activities but also indoor activities such as watching films, playing games etc and believe me, they are really fun. When I stayed there I had the chance to meet lots of people from all around the world and I will never forget them because the time I spent there was the best of my life.

Meet The Team!
