About Us
We offer a wide range of English courses for students of different ages and levels of English
ATC was founded in 1973 and since then we have been providing Quality English Language programmes for students of all ages from around the world.
ATC continues to be independently owned and managed by a dedicated team who are passionate about delivering high quality English language programmes. In May 2024 we were pleased to announce that ATC (ATC Language & Travel) and UK-based UKLC (UK Language Courses) had joined forces to create a strategic alliance. This brought together two of the largest independent language school operators in the sector and continues UKLC’s journey to create an Education Group of owner-managed and independent businesses. The partnership has been secured by Ed Greevy, long-time owner of the family business ATC, selling his shares to UKLC. Colm O’Byrne remains with the business as Managing Director and retains his ownership stake. Colm continues to oversee the day-to-day running of the ATC business, the planned expansion of group operations in Ireland, and joins the UKLC board.
We have two year round English schools in Ireland, Bray and Dublin. In addition, we are one of the largest providers of junior summer programmes in Ireland with 8 locations across the country.
We offer a wide range of English courses for students of different ages and levels of English, all of which are approved in Ireland by Quality and Qualifications Ireland for English Language Teaching (ELT).
The academic team at ATC Language Schools strive to design, plan and deliver innovative programmes to suit the needs of all students while providing a memorable learning experience.
ATC are members of, and accredited by, the leading associations in the international education sector, including ACELS, English Education Ireland, Quality English and Select Ireland.
ATC’s year round schools in Bray and Dublin are also accredited by Eaquals.
Our English courses, which are taught by fully qualified teachers, have an international reputation for academic excellence.

Student Reviews
I would like you to know that I am very grateful for everything that you have helped me with. I thank you for all the time I spent in this school and I wish you all the best!
I want to thank my teachers for their lessons and I would like to recommend this school because for me it was a great opportunity to see a new country and visit wonderful places around Ireland. In all this time I have met many new friends from different cultures and different countries.
All of the staff and course programmes are well organised for their students’ demand. I would highly recommend ATC to students who are trying to build a brighter future.
ATC is a good place to meet new people and make friends. I myself have made some very good friends from different parts of the world, which has helped me to develop my English, but beyond that, my interpersonal skills.
