Travel Talk is our exciting language and cultural activities course exclusively for the over 50’s age group.  Tailor made to the demands of this group, Alpha College offers a programme which combines enjoyable language practice with exciting opportunities to explore Ireland’s unique cultural heritage.

The programme is designed to be flexible and to respond to the needs of each group. The attached programme gives a flavour of options which are available. The programme can also focus on the interests of the group such as music, history, architecture, nature or sports such as golf, fishing or horse riding. Participants can even start a new skill with some lessons in digital photography from a professional. All programme activities are accompanied by an expert guide who makes the students feel welcome from the moment they arrive.
