English + Business School

Best for developing your professional skills in English

Kaplan English Plus Professional Certificate

English course and Professional certificate

With our English + Professional Certificate program, students can combine a Kaplan English course with a concentrated course at Dublin Business School, Ireland’s largest independent third level college.

Our curriculum combines English and IELTS Exam Preparation lessons at our Dublin English school, before a 12-week certificate at Dublin Business School where students will choose to specialise in International Business, Sales or Tourism Marketing. 

Explore a range of business-specific topics, building valuable skills that boost career potential in a variety of industries and enterprises. Upon completion of the course, students will gain an IELTS and English qualification certificate from Kaplan, alongside a Certificate in International Business, Sales or Tourism Marketing worth ECTS worth 30 ECTS credits.*

*The IELTS exam is optional, and comes at an additional cost which is not included in the course price. School staff will be on hand to find and book a test for any interested student, subject to availability. These courses are available to all students from the EU or students eligible for a 12-month working holiday visa in Ireland.
