Built for Higher Level students who want to walk into the exam hall with confidence. Over six 1.5-hour classes we tackle the biggest-mark areas of the exam — the essay, the comprehension, the listening and the oral — and link them together, so every topic you learn works for you across several sections of the exam. It’s a rolling programme — you can join at any week and work through your full six weeks from there.
One set of topics, prepared once and reused across the whole exam, so every hour you put in works for you in several sections.
Built around the marksWe focus on where the marks are — and exactly how to obtain them.
One set of topics, used across the whole examFadhbanna Daoine Óga, Teicneolaíocht, An Costas Maireachtála, Géarchéim na Tithíochta and An Timpeallacht prepared once and reused in the essay and the oral, with comprehension and listening practice on the same themes.
Vocabulary and grammar that scoreKey phrases and grammar areas you can use straight away in your essay and your oral.
Exam technique, not just contentLearn how to handle the title, structure your answer and stay accurate under pressure.
Listening practice built inDedicated listening practice on these same topics, every week.
Dedicated oral preparationA full class on turning your topic material into strong, natural H1-standard answers for the oral.
Leave with a complete set of revision notesEvery student takes home a comprehensive pack of course notes — easy-to-use cheat sheets and manageable revision exercises for self-guided study right up to the exam.
The course targets the four highest-value sections and connects them, so the same preparation earns marks again and again.
| Section | Weighting |
|---|---|
| Oral (Béaltriail) | 40% |
| Essay / Debate (Ceapadóireacht) — Paper 1 | 16.7% |
| Comprehension (Léamhthuiscint) — Paper 2 | 16.7% |
| Listening (Cluastuiscint) — Paper 1 | 10% |
Together these four sections make up the majority of your Higher Level grade — and they share the same topics, vocabulary and phrases.

This is a rolling programme — join any week and do your full six weeks from there. Classes run on Tuesdays, 6:30–8pm; the six topics run in order from 24 November and then repeat, with a break over Christmas. Pick your start date below to see your own six-week timetable.
Dates skip the Christmas break (no classes 22 & 29 December), so a six-week course running over Christmas spans a few extra calendar weeks. Topics 1–6 run in order from 24 November and then repeat, so whenever you start you cover all six.
Each week builds on the last and the topics connect across the whole exam, so students get far more from the complete six weeks — and save €65.
You can take a single class for €40 to try it out — but each week builds on the last, so students get the best results (and save €65) with the full course.
