Do you want to speak fluent English AND improve your horsemanship/showjumping?

Coolcorron Equestrian Language Training Centre provides you with a unique opportunity to do both together.

Our language-learning philosophy is simple and effective. We believe the best way to learn a language is by doing something you enjoy.

And this is exactly how you learn with us at Coolcorron.

1. BENEFITS OF OUR COURSES

  • Hands-on, personalised learning. Each course is tailored to your individual interests and needs.
  • You learn fast because you are doubly motivated: to work with horses AND improve your English doing something you love.
  • Learn from the best: Robert's expertise with horses is second to none. Each week, you work a minimum of 6hrs under the guidance of Robert himself; the rest of the time, you are in the capable hands of his experienced team.
  • Our qualified English teachers are also experienced riders. The teaching is personalized: classes are either one-to-one or in small groups.
  • Ireland is the ideal place to come and learn English. The Irish are naturally friendly and love to converse. We organise plenty of opportunities for you to meet people and practise your English in social situations.
  • Coolcorron is easy to get to from continental Europe. For instance from Paris, there are direct flights every day from Charles De Gaulle to Cork. We meet you off your flight and drive you to Coolcorron, only 15mins from the airport.

    • Coolcorron is 5 minutes from the beautiful coastal town of Kinsale, the Gourmet Capital of Ireland.
