Written answers

The Department does not fund English Language Schools and therefore there are no plans to introduce a standard curriculum or recommendations. However, Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI), through its ACELS function, does provide recognition to ELTOs (English Language Training Organisations) which comply with its standards. Those ELTOs are subject to ongoing monitoring and review by QQI to ensure their ongoing compliance.
