When I first thought of studying in Delfin I was hoping for being able to have my classes in the building. I have already visited around a year ago and all the structure looks amazing, with plenty of space for studying, relaxing, and also, a very welcoming staff. I've always heard good comments about the school. Unfortunately it is not possible to enjoy all of that in this moment and I'm having online classes due to the restrictions. Anyway, the classes have surpassed my expectations, and I really like my teacher. That being said, it is a school that I recommend and feel happy for their ability

Upon visiting the school regarding admission queries for a friend and meeting with the relevant admissions officer, I found her to be extremely rude and snarky when speaking to my friend whose first language is not English. If you're working for a school that teaches English to foreigners, shouldn't you at least adopt a patient and understanding attitude? I was also given an email and asked to submit documents to the school for future admission. After gathering all the required documents and sending them an email, I was given no response! Even if it was a rejection, a response would have been

The school only had 3 great teachers, and because of the covid they have to cancel the IELTS test and they didn't give me the money back and not even change the day. it school is the worst.

Delfin is a nice school. Teachers are screwing as they want to get a better salary but they are well paid anyway. They dont respect the students with the previous strikes. They just used their position to force the situation. English Teachers in Ireland get a lot contract hours and not all of them are ready to teach but the push to get more and more money. If you dont like Delfin, go to another school, the world is free, but Im sure you dont get a better salary as Delfin is not paying that bad. Dear teacehrs, dont manipulate the students in your benefit.
