ACADEMIC YEAR ABROAD

ACADEMIC YEAR IN IRELAND

Year, semester, and quarter abroad: live like a local and meet people from all over the world!

Studying a year abroad in Ireland will provide you the opportunity to improve your language skills, gain independence, and develop new skills and interests.

In addition to this, you will also have the chance to explore the Irish culture, meet new people from all walks of life and make lifelong memories.

Ireland is known for its friendly people, fascinating history, and stunning natural scenery.

With its unique blend of traditional and modern, there is something for everyone.

BENEFITS

The main benefit of doing an academic year in Ireland is the proximity to Italy which allows you to come back during vacation periods without the flight costing a lot. Another great advantage is the easy and quick convalidation of the course in Italy. The only course that has an additional cost is the Diploma di Esame di Stato year since the student has to take the Leaving Certificate exam at the end of it.

IRISH FAMILIES

Irish families offer a unique chance to immerse yourself in the culture of the Emerald Isle. By staying with one of these welcoming households, you’ll gain a deep understanding of the way of life in the country, and be treated like one of the family – a perfect opportunity to help you acclimate and make the most of your stay.

SCHOOL SYSTEM
In Ireland, the educational system is a world-renowned leader according to the latest PISA study. Secondary schooling consists of two cycles: junior and senior. Between both cycles there is Transition Year, a formative fourth year of study, is especially interesting in the Emerald Isle, with common classes like math, history and language, as well as optional workshops, job placement and team activities. In Ireland you can find State schools or Community Schools, which are mixed and not connected to religion. These are completely funded by the government and are plentiful and of high quality. Meanwhile, private schools and boarding schools, are mostly Catholic and with great historical roots and scholastic reputations, both are excellent options.

Attentive staff, present and always available! They guided us for three weeks in Valencia, organizing our students' stay and PCTO down to the smallest detail. More than positive experience!

I lived my PCTO experience in Dublin with Sagitter Training, it was a very beautiful and intense experience. The family I was hosted in was really welcoming and I hope I have transmitted something to them as they have transmitted something to me, while the work I was assigned was very informative and fun. This experience has made me grow on a personal but also professional level and I recommend those who want to have such experiences to rely on Sagitter Training.
For this experience, which we are about to conclude, unfortunately, I give 5 stars. This experience has trained me and helped me learn to work together, not alone, and to spend moments with friends. I hope it’s not the last experience.

I spent a magnificent month in Barcelona thanks to the organization and help of Sagitter. The residence was well equipped and not too far away. I worked at Mosaiccos and I had a great time, the owner was available and friendly like the rest of the team, an international environment in which I was able to develop both my English and my Spanish. An experience that I recommend and that I would gladly do again.

As my first time in Barcelona as a tutor of a large and mixed up group of students, I didn't know exactly what to expect. no problem, I have been welcomed by the Sagitter Training staff, very accurately informed about both accomodation and work placements for my students and me. I immediately felt myself at home and condident my students and I would have any kind of support throughout the whole time spent in the city. BE CONFIDENT, FEEL FREE TO TRY SAGITTER TRAINING, YOU WILL LEARN A LOT FOR YOUR FUTURE AND YOUR LIFE!

This experience was really wonderful, I had an amazing working experience of 4 weeks. I’m grateful to Sagitter training for give me this chance which allowed me to increase my language skills and more. A special thanks goes to our "tutor" Priscilla Gatto who followed us throughout the experience, she’s always been ready to help us in anything. It was a beautiful experience that every teenager should do that!😍

I am working like inter training for an Accountant Company that is helping me to improve my knowledge into the field of the accountancy. I also have to thanks Priscilla (the office's boss 🙂 ) because she is always very helpful and in particular when I had problems with my Personal Cards she helped me immediately. I also want to thanks S.T. because I am sure that this experience will be one of my best life experience and it will remain indelible in my life.

I had a good experience working with Priscilla, she took care of the internships that me and my friends were offered for two months in London as hotel receptionists. I had support in many situations, especially at the start because there had been a small misunderstanding between the university and Sagitter Training about the position I was looking for. This issue was solved very quickly and I had a great internship in a hotel chain. I met with Priscilla periodically to discuss about how it was going. Overall I am very satisfied with this unforgettable experience.
