Frequently Asked Questions

On CIEE’s Teach in Ireland program, if you’re sharing an apartment with flatmates, you should be able to cover most expenses and fund a modest student lifestyle. You’ll earn at least 21 Euros per hour, and teach 15-30 hours per week. Schedules vary, but most weeks you’ll have opportunities to work around 30 hours. Bring savings if you want to do a lot of independent travel.

 

Yes! These positions in Ireland require TEFL certification. Don’t worry, it’s built right into your ºÚÁÏÍø911program! Candidates typically start CIEE’s 11-week course in January or February, and must complete it no later than May 31.

This visa is only available to US citizens who graduated with a Bachelor’s or higher degree in the 12 months prior to visa application. Candidates for this program must have native-level English fluency, and must have a Bachelor’s degree awarded by late May when the program starts.

Three nights of hostel-style accommodations are provided during orientation. After that, participants arrange their own housing. Don’t worry, during the pre-departure phase and also at orientation, we will provide advice and resources to help you be ready for this. Note that the housing market in Dublin is very tight so teachers will likely need to look for short-term rentals outside the city center, in suburbs and surrounding towns where there are more housing options. Greater Dublin has an excellent public transportation system to facilitate commuting.

The short answer is, yes! Final hiring decisions are always up to potential employers, not CIEE, but we feel very confident that we can help place friends and couples together, either at the same school, or at nearby schools where you would be able to live together with a reasonable commute.

Possibly! Your Irish Working Holiday Authorization will be valid for up to 12 months. Your ºÚÁÏÍø911job placement will end in mid-August, but you could choose to remain in Ireland and seek continued employment or other jobs on your own!
