ENGLISH+ SPECIAL NEEDS ASSISTANT PROGRAMME

As educators, we believe that it is only through education, knowledge, and understanding that the SNA can ensure a child with special needs has the most positive learning experiences through developing both their confidence and independence.

Our SNA courses have continually developed over time ensuring that our SNA’s are equipped with the most comprehensive portfolio of skills in order to provide positive learning experiences for any child with specific special needs. Our tutors are highly qualified professionals who are extremely supportive to all our learners as they begin their new journey in the area of special needs assistance. We look forward to supporting you in your further education.

This programme, combined with English language, is key to working in the area of Special Needs in schools. With the introduction of the SNA in schools, children are now able to fully meet their potential thanks to the additional support the SNA provides to children within their care. The faculty has been delivering training in this sector for twenty years.

The Social programme is an important part of the student experience with City Language School. You will have so many opportunities to meet new people and make friends from all over the world, explore a great city, see Ireland, and have fun whilst learning in a modern language school.

A tailored social programme for groups allows students to focus on what they are interested in the most; packing their stay with engaging classes and day-to-day afternoon, evening or full-day activities.
