Galway is more than just a city, it’s a cultural heartbeat on Ireland’s west coast, where creativity, nature, and tradition come together to create an unforgettable learning environment.

From the moment you arrive, Galway welcomes you with its colourful streets, live music echoing from every corner, and an energy that’s both relaxed and full of life. It’s a place where learning goes beyond the classroom: into traditional music sessions in historic pubs, and into everyday moments filled with authenticity.

Whether you’re walking along the scenic Salthill Promenade, discovering medieval sites like the Spanish Arch, or exploring the dramatic landscapes of Connemara just outside the city, Galway offers the perfect backdrop to develop your teaching skills in English while being surrounded by Irish warmth and charm.

Our training programs in Galway are designed not just to teach, but to inspire. You’ll connect with fellow educators from around the world, exchange best practices, and return home with new ideas, renewed motivation, and memories rooted in one of Ireland’s most soulful cities.
