Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying English in Cork. These homes are often between 15 - 25 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. You must check out 1 day after your classes end (usually a Saturday).

I am afraid that we do not have accreditation for Sachsen-Anhalt.
We are currently trying to validate our recognition for 2015 but I am afraid that we will just be getting the same states again.
We are in the process of getting recognition for all 9 Federal States in Germany (we used to only offer 6) and we will also be offering both schools under this program (we used to only offer Galway). I am waiting to hear back from our provider as to the progress but it will take another few weeks I am afraid.
It is possible to extend the course to as many weeks as the student wishes.
