English Courses and Golf in Cork.

This programme is available to junior students between the ages of 11 and 17.

The courses offer a combination of language tuition in the mornings with golf and cultural activities in the afternoons and evenings.

CEC Together with FOTA Island Resort are delighted to propose our English & Golf Programme.
The Golf Academy at FOTA consists of 4000 sq. yards of first-class turf to practice every thing from chipping & putting to crisp iron shots & long drives.

Lessons are provided by our PGA Professional Brian Kelleher. Programme will be structured to suit all levels from beginners to the most advanced. Beginners will be introduced to the course shadowed by a Pro, more advanced players will have more open access to the course with our Pros and coaches.
At the end of the course each player will receive a full pack highlighting each aspect of the course.

Accommodation:

Students have two full board Accomodation options (Host Family and Residence):

• Students can reside with carefully selected Irish Host Families. Accommodation is offered on a full board basis. Students share a room with a student of another nationality. This allows students to experience Irish family life while continuing to put their language skills to practical use.
• 
  
• Our Residences consist of state-of-the-art, purpose-built complexes with 24 hour security. Students can stay in single or twin rooms. Each apartment has a fully-fitted kitchen and a comfortable living area.

Activities:
On four afternoons students on this programme participate in golf training with a PGA professional. Our English & Golf programmes allow you to both perfect you English and improve your golf while mixing with young golfers from other countries. We cater for all golf handicaps and levels of English. The remaining afternoon can be spent shopping or engaging in supervised sports at the junior centre gymnasium. Evening Activities are also offered on three evenings a week and consist of a disco, bingo and karaoke.Students participate in a full day excursion to a venue outside Cork every Saturday.

Academic:
Students attend classes at the junior school every morning from 9am to 12:15 pm. All students are assessed on arrival and are then placed in classes with students of a similar ability.  Classes are interactive and the main focus is on improving the students’ spoken ability and vocabulary expansion.  A progress test every Friday ensures that the progress of each individual is monitored on an ongoing basis.
