Being listed on the ILEP (Interim List of Eligible Programmes) means that the school and its full-time courses comply with Ireland’s current immigration requirements for international learners. This listing allows non-EU/EEA students to study in Ireland for the duration of an approved course.
Although ILEP recognition does not evaluate the academic quality of an institution, it confirms that the provider meets essential standards, including the mandatory provision of learner protection for enrolled non-EU/EEA students.

The TIE exam is a recognised assessment designed for learners of English who want to demonstrate their ability through practical, real-world tasks. It is widely accepted across Ireland and is often chosen by international students because of its flexible, learner-focused format. Many of the projects and activities you complete during your course can be used as part of your TIE preparation, making it a natural part of your learning journey.
