You will have your Induction Day before you start your course. This day introduces you to SEDA, rules, and visa tips, followed by a fantastic and useful free walking tour around Dublin City Centre.
This takes place on the Friday before the start of new classes, at 1 PM. During induction:
We’ll show you around the school and inform you of the facilities available (renewed students will have already done this).
You’ll meet the Director of Studies.
You’ll meet the ADOS, who will give a short presentation about the College.
We’ll tell you about the school rules.
We’ll email you a copy of the student handbook.
You’ll learn about our Health & Safety Policy.
We’ll tell you the rules and policies we have for attendance (the Irish government has rules about this, too).
You’ll meet the student liaison officer and someone in the school who speaks your first language. We have people at SEDA who speak Spanish, Russian, French, Portuguese, Bengali, Italian and Irish.
You will do a speaking placement test.
You will be notified by email of your level, class time, teacher, and the name of your classroom. Please ensure we have your correct email address.
We’ll give you the timetable for your class and tell you when your course will start and should finish.
We’ll tell you the date of your final IELTS or Cambridge exam.
You will be shown where you can buy your New English File Course Book.
