Working in Killarney.

Killarney is a very busy tourist town (the third busiest in Ireland) and there are many jobs in the tourism industry especially from March to September. These jobs are usually in hotels, B&Bs, restaurants or pubs. There are local newspapers www.killarneyadvertiser.ie and https://killarneyoutlook.com/ with available jobs. Often when you speak to the students already here, they know about jobs available. The school very often posts available jobs on the school Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/Killarneyschoolofenglish  

Dates:

Our adult school is open all year for adults (except the 2 weeks of Christmas). The school is closed on all National Bank holidays.  

What are the rules?

The full tuition fee must be paid in advance in order to be granted an acceptance letter. This acceptance letter must show a local address  in the Killarney area. If you do not have accommodation arranged, we can organise this for you in a host family. This acceptance letter will be needed for you to be granted a visa from the nearest Irish embassy. This will enable you to enter Ireland and you will then have to get a student visa within one month. We can help you with this.
