ADC provides your students with an induction full of useful information about how to make their work placement a success, what to do in their free time and who to contact if they need help.

This meeting is a great opportunity for students to give feedback and speak with a caring member of staff in confidence. Students can talk to us about how they feel or if they have any issues.

We collect your students from Dublin airport and make sure they safely reach their host family accommodation.

We don’t believe in call centres or impersonal communication. This is why we assign a contact person to you which you can speak to about all project matters.

During their stay, students have access to our cosy and comfortable lounge space to get together or simply put their feet up and enjoy a cup of tea.

At the end of the programme, we certify the project and each student receives their personal certificate.

We can help you with the information and documentation you need. We have many years of experience dealing with Europasses, Learning Agreements and other project documentation.

International work experience is a prestigious CV addition showing future employers that your students are willing to go the extra mile.

Working in another country helps students put their language skills into practice, picking up useful vocabulary along the way.

At the end of their stay, students often report they feel more prepared to overcome future challenges and feel more confident in themselves and the skills they have to offer.

Many students will be abroad for the first time in their lives, away from family and their usual social circle. During this time they will grow professionally and learn how to be more independent.

Students will learn many transferable skills such as how to adapt to new environments, communicate across language and culture barriers, and take charge of their personal development.

Offering your students international experience as part of their studies is an excellent way to enhance your school’s reputation in your region as an institution of excellence with an international profile.

Students often apply themselves when they have a specific goal in mind. International work experience can help your students find the motivation to study harder.

Taking part in international work experience programmes enables your school to access European funding opportunities like Erasmus+.

If you are not a seasoned international project manager, running a programme abroad can be an exciting career development opportunity for you and your colleagues.

It can be a great opportunity for accompanying group leaders to explore Ireland at the same time as their students to reward all the hard work which goes into organising student projects.

We want you, your students, and their placement company to be happy. This is why we check your students’ academic background, level of English, their previous work experience and how they fit the requirements of our partner companies.

We constantly expand the network of suitable placement companies and regularly review student feedback on companies we already work with. We check on students shortly after arrival, in the middle of their programme, and at the end. The insights we gain are carefully analysed and inform decisions on future placements and student support.

Since 1996, ADC College has built a strong reputation in international education. Many of the 200 EU schools we work with cooperate with us for many years because they know they can rely on us. Since 2010, we have placed over 15,000 students in London & Dublin while achieving outstanding satisfaction scores from students and their accompanying group leaders.

We are very nice! But if that is not enough, we also have extensive experience under our belt. Our company directors have more than 20 years of experience with Erasmus+ programmes (formerly Leonardo Da Vinci) between each other. Our staff is internationally trained and has first-hand experience of what it is like to live and work in another country.

We have a track record of satisfied students. According to internal end-of-programme feedback reviewed in 2023, more than 4000 students rated us an average of 9 out of 10. And on Google and Facebook we have a 5-star rating.

ADC College’s programmes are eligible for financial support through the Erasmus+ programme. The available funds subsidise programme costs including organisation, accommodation and travel costs.
