An organisation you can trust.

The name.

ADC College is named after the founder’s wife, whose initials he used when he started the company in 1996 as part of the small family business ADC Technology Training LTD. The values of a family business still govern us today: personal contact, reliable service quality, and long-lasting partnerships. Clear. Direct. To the point.

The company.

Since its humble beginnings as a small English language school in 1996, ADC has significantly grown and expanded into being one of the largest work placement providers in Europe. We now provide a wide range of professional development and internship programmes in Dublin, Ireland to 1800+ students per year and have become an industry leader in organising Erasmus+-funded projects in partnership with organisations in 14 different European countries.

The people.

We are an internationally trained team of professionals driven by the mission to help students gain the confidence to go out into the world and broaden their horizons.

We are experts in organising professional development programmes and know what it is like to live, work, and study in a foreign country. And we speak your language, too! Members of staff are available to discuss your project needs in:

• Bulgarian

• Czech

• English

• German

• Portuguese

• Slovak

• Spanish

• Ukrainian

Distinct departments oversee our student care, the academic management of training sessions, the organisation of internships, and the provision of accommodation.

The quality.

Projects in partnership with ADC have received the highest marks from National Agencies in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Poland, earning many of our partners funding charters and Erasmus+ accreditations as a result. Our work follows strict quality management guidelines and high industry standards.

Since 2010 alone, more than 200 schools and professional bodies have trusted us with placing over 20,000 students in public and private sector companies.

Thousands of students give us regular feedback and rate us on average 9 out of 10. That doesn’t mean that we always get it right, but we work hard to get better all the time!

ADC was awarded accreditation status by the Dutch Foundation for Cooperation on Vocational Education, Training and the Labour Market (Samenwerkingsorganisatie Beroepsonderwijs Bedrijfsleven, SBB).
