Top-Class Training Locations: Cork, Dublin, and Galway

Our training centres are based in three of Ireland’s most dynamic and culturally enriching cities: Cork, Dublin, and Galway. Each location provides not only high-quality educational facilities but also a memorable immersion into Irish culture, history, and daily life. These cities are ideal bases for a productive and inspiring Erasmus+ experience, whether you’re interested in heritage, the arts, or contemporary innovation.

Cork: Ireland’s Cultural Capital in the South

Often called the “real capital” by locals, Cork is a city brimming with charm, creativity, and community spirit. With its bustling English Market, historic Shandon Tower, and riverside quays, Cork offers participants a unique blend of old-world tradition and contemporary culture.

Cork is especially known for its independent character, vibrant arts and food scene, and its welcoming locals who are always ready to share a story or offer directions. The city is compact and walkable, making it ideal for visiting educators to explore comfortably in their free time.

Our training venue in Cork is centrally located, with easy access to public transport, cafes, and cultural attractions. Outside class hours, participants can enjoy excursions to nearby highlights such as Blarney Castle, Kinsale, or the Wild Atlantic Way.

Dublin: Ireland’s Capital of Ideas and Innovation

As the country’s capital and a UNESCO City of Literature, Dublin is both historic and forward-looking. This city is home to some of Ireland’s most respected educational institutions and world-class museums. It offers an intellectually stimulating environment that makes it an ideal place for professional development.

Participants studying in Dublin have the chance to explore iconic sites like Trinity College, where the Book of Kells is housed, or enjoy walks along the River Liffey and the buzzing atmosphere of Temple Bar. Dublin is also a hub for technology and innovation, providing context for educators interested in digital learning, blended methodologies, and the future of education.

Our Dublin training centre is well-connected and situated in a vibrant district full of cafes, galleries, parks, and coworking spaces—making it the perfect base for networking and creativity.

Galway: A Warm Welcome on the Wild Atlantic Way

Located on Ireland’s west coast, Galway is a city with a heart. Known for its friendly atmosphere, cobbled streets, and artistic soul, it regularly ranks among Europe’s top small cities to visit. Participants often say Galway feels like a home away from home, thanks to its warm, inclusive energy and easy-going pace.

Galway is renowned for its festivals, live traditional music, and beautiful coastal views. The nearby landscapes—such as Connemara National Park and the Cliffs of Moher—offer perfect weekend escapes. The city also has a strong educational and creative community, which complements the aims of Erasmus+ courses focusing on collaboration, intercultural understanding, and inclusion.

Our training facility in Galway is ideally located for both learning and leisure, offering a balance of professional focus and personal inspiration.

Comfortable Accommodation Options

We know that a good learning experience depends on a comfortable and supportive environment. We provide assistance in arranging accommodation to suit all preferences and budgets:

• Homestays for immersive cultural experiences
• Private apartments or hotel stays for added independence
• Shared accommodation options for networking with fellow participants

All options are located near training venues and local amenities, ensuring convenience and comfort throughout your stay.

Dynamic Social and Cultural Programmes

Learning doesn’t stop in the classroom. Our programmes include rich cultural and social activities designed to deepen participants’ connection with Irish life and fellow educators. Highlights include:

• Guided city tours
• Visits to historical and cultural landmarks
• Traditional Irish music nights
• Group dinners and networking events

These activities foster collaboration, intercultural understanding, and lasting friendships among participants from across Europe.

Strong European Dimension: Celebrating Unity in Diversity

One of the most powerful aspects of an Erasmus+ experience is the sense of shared purpose and European identity it nurtures among educators from different countries. Our programmes are designed to foster intercultural dialogue and unity in diversity, reinforcing the spirit of collaboration that lies at the heart of the Erasmus+ initiative.

• Multinational Participation: Our courses attract participants from Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Central and Eastern Europe, and beyond, creating a vibrant and diverse learning community.
• Cross-Border Exchange: Training sessions include structured opportunities for exchanging ideas, comparing educational practices, and learning from a wide range of teaching methods and philosophies.
• Collaborative Projects: Participants often identify common challenges and leave with potential partners for future Erasmus+ projects, twinning initiatives, or school exchanges.

This strong European dimension ensures that learning is not only about acquiring new skills, but also about strengthening the bonds that unite educators across the continent. The friendships, networks, and collaborations built during our programmes often extend far beyond the duration of the course, contributing to a more connected and inclusive European educational landscape.

At Erasmus Courses Ireland, we believe that unity in diversity is one of the most valuable outcomes of an Erasmus+ experience, and we are proud to help cultivate that sense of shared purpose and solidarity in every training we offer.
