Our comment from StudyLanguages about Limerick Language Centre:
Limerick Language Centre is renowned for its friendly atmosphere and dedicated staff. Many students have praised the excellent teachers, highlighting their professionalism and ability to create engaging and supportive learning environments. The school offers a diverse cultural mix, which enriches the learning experience, providing opportunities to make friends from all over the world.
Positive feedback emphasizes the helpfulness of team members like Fatima and Samara, who guide students through the entire process of studying abroad with kindness and efficiency. The school is well-equipped with modern infrastructure, and numerous social activities are organized to facilitate interaction among students.
However, there have been concerns regarding administrative issues, particularly related to refunds and communication when problems arise, such as visa refusals. Some students have reported dissatisfaction with the handling of these matters and a lack of response from the administration.
In summary, while Limerick Language Centre provides a generally positive learning experience with excellent teachers and a welcoming environment, potential students should be cautious and aware of the administrative challenges that might occur.
Limerick Language Centre: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Excellent service,Special thanks for Fatima,She is very easy to connect ans very helpful through all the way from start to the end.She is very kind.very detail and very quick to response.She is the best.
Negative experience: Fui totalmente enganada por essa escola quando estudei. Eles me venderam um curso, comprei o curso na época do intercâmbio. Quando comecei a estudar me trocaram para um prédio pior, os funcionários totalmente sem tato para lidar com os alunos, pessoal do marketing, piorou. Prédio com estrutura horrível, ensino baixo, escola começou a lotar, começaram a trocar todos os bons professores. Pior experiência! Sério! Vão para qualquer uma de Limerick, menos essa. Fui enganada e desrespeitada.
Positive experience: I had an excellent experience working with Samara, the agent who helped me come to Ireland for my English course. From the very beginning, she was incredibly supportive and professional, guiding me through every step of the process. What really stood out was how helpful Samara was even beyond the application. When I arrived in Dublin, she gave me clear instructions on which bus to take and exactly where to go, which made everything so much easier and less stressful. Everything worked perfectly thanks to her guidance. I truly appreciate her dedication, patience, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Samara to anyone planning to study abroad!
Fantastic experience: I had a very good experience at LLC. They were always willing to help me whenever I needed it. I would especially like to thank Sorcha, Ana, and Arif for their kindness and great attitude in every situation. I really appreciate it..
Negative experience: I applied for a course here, but my Irish study visa was refused in November 2025. I requested a refund immediately, but it has been over 3.5 months and I still haven't received my money. I have already reported this school to English Education Ireland (EEI) and will continue to escalate this until my funds are returned.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience at Limerick language school.The English language learning program is top-notch, with amazing teachers who make learning fun and interactive. The supportive environment as an international student they guys helped me a lot in my legal matters such as IRP/PPS and bank account. Otherside, They boost my confidence in speaking and writing. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their English skills in worm and friendly environment. Thank you Helena, Sorcha and specially Ana ❤️
Fantastic experience: Amando a escola, desde a venda com Samara sou muito grata. Espero evoluir bastante
Fantastic experience: The school is excellent because it has helped me improve my English a lot. They are very professional and also attend to our requests when we need them. We have Ana there who always helps us when we need some documentation.
Fantastic experience: Comecei a estudar a dois na escola e estou tendo uma ótima experiência. Professores muito qualificados e esforçados. A escola também se esforça para ajudar os alunos com acomodação, oportunidades de trabalho e várias outras coisas
Fantastic experience: This is truly the best English school in Limerick. From the first day, I felt completely at home. The administration team is very professional, organized, and always ready to help with anything you need. The teachers are excellent, very supportive, and they make the classes interesting and easy to understand. The whole school has a friendly atmosphere and everyone treats students with respect and kindness. Studying here has been an amazing experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn English in Limerick.
Fantastic experience: I am a night-time student with teacher Laurita. I really like the school and the environment.
Fantastic experience: Gostaria de registrar minha satisfação e gratidão pela escola e por toda a equipe envolvida. Desde o primeiro contato, fomos muito bem atendidos, principalmente pela Samara, que sempre se mostrou extremamente atenciosa, prestativa e disponível para ajudar em todas as dúvidas e necessidades. Esse suporte fez toda a diferença para que nos sentíssemos seguros e confiantes. A escola demonstra organização, profissionalismo e um cuidado genuíno com os alunos. É muito reconfortante saber que meu filho está em um ambiente acolhedor, responsável e comprometido com o bem-estar e o desenvolvimento dos estudantes. Sou muito grata por todo o apoio, atenção e dedicação que recebemos até aqui. Recomendo a escola com toda confiança e certeza de que estão fazendo um excelente trabalho. Muito obrigada a toda a equipe!
Fantastic experience: A Limerick Language Centre faz um excelente trabalho ao criar oportunidades para os alunos além da sala de aula. Recentemente, participei do evento Big Day, que foi extremamente bem organizado, com palestrantes inspiradores, incluindo ex-alunos que hoje são empresários na Irlanda, além de atividades culturais e ótimas oportunidades ao longo de todo o dia. É possível perceber que a escola realmente se preocupa com o desenvolvimento dos alunos e com a construção de uma comunidade forte em Limerick. Ações como essas mostram o quanto eles estão comprometidos em apoiar os estudantes em sua jornada na Irlanda. Altamente recomendado!
Negative experience: I am writing this review to express my deep frustration with Limerick Language Centre. I have been waiting for a refund of my registration fee for over a year now, and despite my numerous attempts to contact them, I have received no meaningful response or resolution. It is incredibly unprofessional for an educational institution to ignore a student's legitimate refund request for such an extended period. I feel completely let down by their lack of communication and accountability. I would strongly advise others to be cautious before committing any funds here, as their administrative support is non-existent when it comes to returning money.
Negative experience: My visa refused back in November 2025 and i am waiting for responce for my refund but no replied from admin i emailed them more then 20 times but no reply
Negative experience: This has been one of the most frustrating and unprofessional experiences we have ever had. We paid thousands of dollars to this language school but never attended because a visa was not approved. After an exhausting number of follow-ups, Lais Fernandes explicitly confirmed in writing that a partial refund would be issued in full, at once, starting on a specific date. That date came and went. No refund. No explanation. Since then, they have completely disappeared. Emails are ignored, phone calls are never answered, and there is zero accountability. Once they have your money, they simply stop responding. At this point, this no longer feels like a delay — it feels misleading and deceptive. Any legitimate school should be reachable and should honor written refund commitments. This one does neither. I strongly question how this organization operates and whether it should be trusted at all. If you are considering enrolling or sending money, think very carefully. Getting your money back may be impossible once they have it.
Negative experience: Broken Promises and Silence: The Dark Side of This Language School Student Name: Shengheng Xu Student ID:2405015 Your finance staff member, has completely stopped responding to emails as if he has disappeared. This attitude clearly shows no intention to resolve the issue. The school staff told me that I needed to pay the tuition fee before I could submit my visa application. So, I paid 2,900 euros for the course. I’m someone with 15 years of experience working in international 4A advertising agencies and several Fortune 500 companies, and my financial situation is completely stable. However, my visa was unreasonably refused. After that, Ms. Han from the school’s admissions office helped me start the refund process. The school’s finance department first replied saying my documents were incomplete, then said the refund was being processed — and eventually, they just stopped replying to my emails altogether. I’ve already found several other victims with the same experience on social media in China, and I’m sure there are many more. If the school still refuses to keep its promise, we won’t rule out hiring a professional team to defend our rights locally. Lastly, I want to say to anyone who’s planning to apply to this school — please protect yourself. Don’t believe the one-sided promises made by this school or its management. As of today, not a single person from the school — including its management or anyone from their social media accounts — has contacted me. The entire school remains silent. And I want to make it clear — until they face legal consequences, I’m not going to stop here.
Fantastic experience: 学校很好,继续学习上课了。
Negative experience: I’m not happy with the course. In the month I’ve been there, I’ve had four different teachers. A lot of time is wasted, and there’s very little progress. In reality, it’s not 15 hours a week. It’s easy to use ChatGPT. So far, I definitely wouldn’t recommend it, but I’ll let you know if my perspective changes by the end of the course.
Positive experience: The school has some really great teachers (especially Affaf and Alan, who are caring and really encourage students, specially to speak). The team and the other students were also wonderful. However, I was a bit disappointed because, since my course was only four weeks, I expected to be more challenged. I felt I was the most of time in the wrong level, like it was nice the class, but I didn't feel chalenged, it was more review some points, and basic conversations. The most frustrating part was the host family I booked through the school. They say it's a great way to practice English, to live the irish culture, but it was nothing like what was advertised. There was no real interaction with the "family" either, it was nothing "welcoming". They didn’t show any interest in talking to me, and the conversations only happened if I asked questions (it felt more like an interrogation than a real conversation). The house appears more like a hostel than a host family, with about more 7 other students, most of them in groups, and half of my time there, all of them from the same country, with no real interest in socializing or speak to others. I also noticed some different treatment between students of different nationalities or from the company/course.. Beside this, there wasn’t a proper space to study until the last week when I was moved to a different room. The cleanliness and food were good. I recommend the school, but I’d suggest being really careful when choosing accommodation, as it can have a big impact on your overall experience. And pay attention in your level, specially if you are for a short time and really focused in English.
Negative experience: Disappointed to the school just for how they are very intolerant.
Fantastic experience: Best school in Limerick. I’m so happy I chose that school to improve my English
Fantastic experience: The teachers are experienced and the environment is pleasant, I liked the social activities
Fantastic experience: Great school for those looking to learn English quickly, lovely experience!
Fantastic experience: Uma das melhores escolas da cidade de Limerick. Fui bem atendida da contratação do meu curso até o pós na escola. Alunos e funcionários muito educados e solicitos.
Negative experience: Very loud neighborhood.
Negative experience: AVOID THIS SCHOOL AT ALL COSTS. I had my visa refusal and had been waiting for the refund since May though I provided all the necessary documents ! All I get is generic emails but no actual action. I would have given you ZERO stars if I could. Absolutely disgraceful given that you have been more than 20 years in the business.
Fantastic experience: Limerick Language Centre is excellent, with a well equipped and modern infrastructure. The teachers are highly qualified and dedicated, providing an inspiring learning environment. It’s a perfect choice for those seeking a quality education.
Fantastic experience: Great staffs
Fantastic experience: I am so happy with my experience at Limerick Language Centre. The team is really friendly, especially Lais Matias and Martin, who helped me with everything when I was registering. They are very professional and always willing to assist. The teachers are excellent, and I improved my English a lot during the 4 months I studied here. The classes are engaging, and even though they are 4 hours long, they never feel boring because of the different activities we do. It was truly the best decision I made to study English at this school. The location is perfect, as it is close to everything, and the prices are affordable. I have gained so much confidence in speaking English, and I am really thankful for all the support and guidance I received. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to improve their English in a friendly environment.
Fantastic experience: I am having a great experience at Limerick Language Centre! The teachers are excellent—friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The classroom environment is very comfortable and makes it easy to focus and learn. It’s a great place to improve your English in a supportive and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I started my course at LLC in the beginning of February 2025, and it's been a great experience so far. All teachers I had contact with were respectful, and even though each one has its own way to teach, they're all well qualified. During these two months and a half, I've noticed the school is always looking to improve its quality, as an example we now have another building, this time located at Limerick's main street, O'Connell Street, and it is a spacious, renovated Georgian building. One of my favorite things in LLC is the "Social Activities", they usually take place every Monday and Friday, and it can go from having a quick Gaeilge (Irish language) class, to going bowling with schoolmates (with a special discount), or even learning how to prepare to a fluency exam (like TIE or Cambridge).
Negative experience: Don't risk using this school. If you have visa issues, and it is finally rejected , (reapplying and waiting can take over 12 months), you will not receive a refund. They will keep all of your money
Fantastic experience: My experience was not so good the first 2 weeks because in that short time I had 4 different teachers but from the 3rd week onwards everything improved. I now have a regular teacher and she is very good. I love your classes and the good vibes of all the teachers and administrators.
Fantastic experience: I've had a good experience learning English in Limerick Language Centre because, in addition to the regular course with Affaf, they allowed me to take prívate lessons with Luisa and Susan. Many thanks to every member of the team, as my requirements were always solved with a good attitude
Fantastic experience: It's a great school! I got to see it up close when I studied there.
Fantastic experience: Quero recomendar o agente de intercâmbio o Victor Souza, ele é muito atencioso, tira todas as dúvidas, está sempre disposto a ajudar. Espero que você tenha a sorte de encontrá-lo.
Fantastic experience: This is one of the best schools to learn English in Ireland. It has a super diverse range of people, from lots of countries in the world and it helps you to improve your English faster and learn about different cultures at school, which makes the experience of studying English outside of your country much richer and more interesting.

Their dedication, patience, and enthusiasm create a great learning environment that helps you improve quickly and confidently. If you’re looking for a place to boost your English skills while feeling motivated and encouraged, LLC is definitely the right choice!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend studying at LLC as I had a wonderful experience at Limerick Language Centre, and I want to make a special mention to Shaz, Helena, Sorcha, and Ana, who guided me through all the processes. They welcomed me with open arms and made me feel right at home. I absolutely loved the multicultural environment, as students from all over the world attend the school, making it a truly immersive experience. A big shout-out to the teachers as well, who were not only fun and friendly but also highly experienced and fantastic at what they do! I’m so grateful for my time at LLC, and I will definitely be back in the future. Thanks again, LLC!
Positive experience: First of all, the atmosphere in the school is warm and welcoming. From the first day, i was received with professionalism. Everything about the school is clearly explained. And the reality is matching it. The teachers are nice, professional , and available. Great capacity to listen to the student's need, and help them. Interesting activities are organized , and permit to mix with different people. The school is well located, which permits to find everything close, and the personal is ready to help in case. The apartment in Groove Island are cosy as well. Thanks to the Limerick language center
Fantastic experience: It has been a great experience studying at LLC. The teachers are very competent and dynamic. I would like to thank my consultant Eduardo who has helped me with several issues from the beginning. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I have been studying at this school since my first course, and now I'm in my last one. I've always had the best teachers with me.
Fantastic experience: The best school!!
Fantastic experience: The quality of education is excellent, and the teachers are dedicated, taking the time to engage with each student individually. The layout and organization of the school building are impressive, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. The heating system is warm and efficient, ensuring a comfortable environment during the winter months. Additionally, the tuition is very reasonable, offering great value for the quality of education provided
Negative experience: Don't waste your time and money at this language school, many teachers are not responsible and management is terrible. Most promises they made while selling can't be fulfilled eventually!
Fantastic experience: Moving to LLC has been a great experience from the very first moment, from the time you contact your stundent advisor to when you start attending classes! They support and guide you whenever you need it
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience from this place. I learned English my school
Fantastic experience: Incredible teachers, great atmosphere! Learning here is a joy!

Fantastic experience: Just to say that my experience with LLC has been excellent, from the sales advisor until the teachers. I feel my English has improved a lot and I'd like to say thank you to everyone.
Fantastic experience: This is my second time in Limerick attending Limerick Language Centre. Firstly, I have greatly improved my English. Thanks to the incredible teachers, I have been able to learn quickly and in an innovative way. Secondly, and most importantly, I have met amazing people from all over the world, whom I now proudly call real friends rather than just classmates. LLC has given me numerous opportunities to grow both professionally and personally. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn English in a great environment. Thank you, LLC!
Fantastic experience: El ambiente es muy familiar y particularmente los dos profesores que me tocaron (Marianne y Alan) fueron excelentes!
Fantastic experience: Small review for, Limerick Language enter, very pleasant environment, staff on the ball, special thanks to Helena, who helped me find and apply the course that suited my objectives, dedicated teachers and very well constructed courses - that's how I would define this school
Fantastic experience: Great school, facilities, and teachers. I recommend it.
Fantastic experience: This school is environment so great and cool. This school is new building is so nice great classes and big TV and big boards and great chairs for students. Classes are really comfort for students. About teachers, I love them they are so experienced, professional and warm hearted and hilarious. This school will be your best shot in your life.
Fantastic experience: I improved my English very quickly at this school, the teachers are amazing!!
Negative experience: Leaving my comment here because the teachers are great, but the school administration is terrible. They don’t listen to the students and are always making excuses. They ended my course before the classes actually finished, and when I took a test to move up a level, they didn’t update my certificate because they made up “new policies.” This wasn’t the only issue I faced. The director showed favoritism between me and another student, as they are both native Spanish speakers. The other student behaved completely inappropriately in the classroom, and nothing was done—only asking me to “keep the peace.” As a student and immigrant, I can say that the Right Word school is indeed the best in town. I never had any problems there and always had great teachers as well. I switched schools because I’d always heard good things about this one, but actions like those of Director Helena and the rudeness of Sorcha make me disagree with the recommendations.
Positive experience: The teachers and students are really nice here. It's highly recommended if you want to study English and make some cool friends.
Fantastic experience: A melhor escola de Limerick sem dúvidas. Professores e equipe sempre preocupados em fazer o melhor para os alunos e o aprendizado de cada um.
Negative experience: Si quieres aprender inglés no recomiendo esta escuela. Llegue en agosto y al principio tenían buenos profesores, luego los profesores cambian constantemente ( en mi casa por profesores bastante desequilibrados mentalmente). Además realizan muchas clases de relleno para mantenerte en el mismo nivel y no pasarte al siguiente porque no tienen espacio en la sala, muchas veces estás en clases con personas que tienen un nivel de inglés más bajo que el tuyo, lo cual te estanca y no te permite avanzar, es un muy buen negocio para ellos. Sólo rescato que es la única escuela donde realmente encuentras personas de diversas nacionalidades y realizan muy buenas actividades posteriores a las clases. Pero académicamente hablando y comparación a los precios con las otras escuelas, no lo recomiendo
Positive experience: Escuela con una amplia trayectoria en la enseñanza del Idioma. Se destaca por la variedad de nacionalidades que asisten a la escuela y las actividades sociales de los lunes y viernes. Tiene buena reputación en la ciudad por su anterior administración. Actualmente la nueva administración no ha sido cuidadosa con la elección de los nuevos profes y muchos estudiantes manifiestan inconformidad de la metodología de enseñanza.
Fantastic experience: Early start that was
Fantastic experience: Teachers, All Staff the best English School in Limerick
Fantastic experience: I completed my IELTS preparation course in 2018 and had an excellent experience with both the teachers and the school. I successfully achieved my goal of obtaining a good score on the test and applying to college in Ireland.

Fantastic experience: The best school in Limerick! Native teachers, the best mix of nationalities! My best choose
Fantastic experience: I did the evening course and I recommend it!
Fantastic experience: The best School in Limerick, Super qualified teachers and family environment.
Negative experience: I do not recommend this academy. They don't think about people, they only want you to pay and then they ignore you completely.
Fantastic experience: LLC ,Limerick Language School is an amazing school that you should attend without any hesitation! It offers an experience that you won't forget easily. The highly qualified teachers will push you to exceed your limits and willingly go above and beyond to help you. They are diverse and complementary in their teaching styles, and you will feel supported, understood, and encouraged . Maybe even loved! The cultural mix among the students is significant, so you'll suddenly have friends from all over the world. Be careful, as you might end up in a country you never imagined! While I cannot compare LLC to other schools, I can say for sure that they have setthe bar very high. Writing this with a heavy heart, I spent nine months in Ireland, and I cannot imagine anything being better. I'll return there at the slightest opportunity! Thank you LLC ♥️
Fantastic experience: The best school in Limerick, and I am sure is one of the best in Ireland. I studied in LLC for 6 months in 2022. 100% recommendated. High education level, excelent teachers and general staff. You feel you are at home during classes and schools activities.
Fantastic experience: Without doubt, it's the best English school in Limerick, it's really worth.
Fantastic experience: Excelente calidad. La única escuela con más de 30 años de experiencia en Limerick y eso se nota tanto en el trato a los estudiantes como en el metodo de aprendizaje
Fantastic experience: منذ سبع سنوات معهد ممتاز التقيت بالعديد من جنسيات دول العالم زميلات وبمعلمات لطيفات اشكر المدير ألن والمعلمة نينا ومريام على حسن التعامل
Fantastic experience: I lived in Ireland for 4 months and I think it was one of the best experiences of my life. I was supposed to leave one month later as I did because, unfortunately, I had to run away and travel back to my country on late March because of the virus outbreak but I would have liked to spend more time there, at least to finish my course at LLC and have the possibility to say goodbye to everybody properly. By the way, Alan and Deirdre have been managing very well since the first day of lockdown until now in order find the best solution for everyone for our unfinished courses. LLC is an excellent language school to improve English with very competent and friendly teachers. Especially, I’d like to thank Stephen, who was my teacher in B2 class, because I think I had the greatest improvement while I was studying with him. He’s lessons had always been interesting and exciting, basically never boring and probably the best thing is that he always cares about his students and he always does his best. LLC isn’t simply an English school as it feels like a second home to me. I met so many people from all around the world: Brazilians, Spanish, German, French, Russian, Omani, Saudi… And I love to keep in touch with them. I had the possibility to socialise a lot also because of the afternoon activities organised by LLC… a special thank to Susan and her craziness, her smiles, her patience with all of us. I’d like to come back some day… at least to cross our path once more. Who knows? At the moment, I’m sure that I’ll come back as soon as this awful worldwide situation is over to travel around Ireland to see all the places I couldn’t visit before leaving because of the virus. Obviously, I’ll come by... I'll come back to Limerick and to LLC to greet all of you, Alan, Susan, Deirdre, Irfan, teachers and my host family.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience there. The teaching staff were friendly and the other students were from different cultures, it was a pleasure to chat with them.
Fantastic experience: Ótima escola, com professores muito bons!
Fantastic experience: Is the best school in Limerick city.
Fantastic experience: The best school ever!
Negative experience: Staff very rude and arrogant. Teachers very lazy, just sitting down and talk never use whiteboard. Not worth the money. You can see the manager only replied to good reviews here because they are his friends.
Negative experience: Extremely awful attitude, when you study there, they are fine, if you finish you study and try get Little help, just say go away, and discriminate Chinese, only need money
Negative experience: La peor escuela en la que he estado. Los profes unos incompetentes. No saben enseñar. Muchos se rien de los alumnos. La pedagogía brilla por su ausencia. Los libros del año de matusalen. Lo único que quieren es tu dinero. NO LA ACONSEJO NI A MI PEOR ENEMIGO.
Positive experience: Una escuela muy agradable, volveria sin duda
Fantastic experience: Excelente escola, atendimento, ambiente, professores, além de tudo isso, as nacionalidades são bem mescladas nas salas. Atualmente possui média de 10 brasileiros na escola, isso é muito bom.
