Program Reviews

Spanish Gap Year was such an incredible experience. Spain is huge and there is so much to see but Spanish Gap Year does an excellent job at covering a wide variety of cultures, regions and cities throughout the three months. Additionally, the program can look and feel different to every student regardless of the group setting because a huge aspect is personal growth, thus the program not only allows but encourages taking initiative in one’s experience. I’d totally recommend this program and additionally Arantxa the leader is amazing!

This program was a great opportunity to see a wide variety of Spain and experience the different cultures, landscapes, languages, people, and communities. The home-stays provided an incredible experience to really get to know a city and meet a lot of people who I was able to develop strong connections and friendships with. The schedule was a good balance between group activities and free time that provided a good opportunity to explore and do what you want with free time. The city time was packed full and the hostel accommodations were definitely more compact than time in home-stays but it was a good balance.

Spanish Gap Year is the best way to see Spain, learn about there culture, also while improving or learn Spanish. Being able to live in around a dozen different places in Spain with people with very different backgrounds and lifestyle is a once in a lifetime opportunity. This trip also pushed my comfort levels in a good way and also gave a great opportunity to grow as a person. This program also gave me the chance to make friends that I talk to every day months after the program ended. I’m very glad I went on this trip and I recommend the same for everyone else.

If you have the opportunity to go, take it! I could have never planned to experience Spain on the level we were able to. I say this because in every area we went to, we were led by locals who were passionate about their homes and very happy to share their culture/experience with us. Whether it was mountain biking, surfing, cooking classes, or guided tours…you can tell every activity and excursion is planned with intention. We didn’t just have fun; we were also given moments to reflect, bond as a group, and expand our perspectives. I carry some of my experiences from the trip into my day-to-day life now that I’m home and I can easily say that I miss it.

I felt very cared for by most of the team, all adventures and locations where we stayed were safe and enjoyable. Food was great although you will have to cook for yourself! Which is a great skill to learn over a gap year. Group mates were nice. Spanish experience was incredible and super educational, if you’re looking for an in depth Spanish culture program it’s definitely something to look for. There’s truly nothing else like it. The combination of Spanish education, cultural education, art and history education, sustainability and travel is insane and the price (although a bit high) is worth it for 3 months of travel

This was a fun program where I was able to learn a lot of Spanish very quickly along with exploring almost the entirety of Spain. It was very fast paced but we were able to do and learn a lot. I would recommend it for someone with a love for learning history, language, and culture and a love for adventure. We visited many cathedrals and historical sites, as well as participating in exchanges with Spanish locals, as well as attending a few classes while living with host families. It was a program that really encompassed every single thing to do abroad in one.

Had a great time doing this course! It was well organised and carried out and there was great support for us as well. If there was anything we were struggling with, our tutor Donall helped us understand it more clearly and was very patient. It was a fun experience from start to finish and we always had a laugh no matter what subject we were covering. Great course and a great way to meet people and make new friends from all over the world. I had been wanting to do this course for a few years and I’m glad I finally did it. Id languages is a great place to help you achieve your TEFL dreams! 😊

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with ID Languages, I was so happy to engage in some learning during Covid and this course was just the right thing to keep my mind occupied at a precarious time. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has been thinking about it, now is defintely the time. I met some lovely people and we all helped and supported each other during our studies. The tutors at ID have a wealth of knowledge, experience and are very approachable. The course is varied and interactive. Thanks again Arantxa, Donall & all the team at ID Languages!

I had a wonderful time doing my TEFL course with ID languages. The staff were very welcoming, delivering both a relaxing and engaging atmosphere throughout my 2 weeks with them. I was able to land a teaching job in Spain just 2 weeks after completing the course. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to teach English abroad. Also, living on the other side of Ireland meant finding accommodation in Bundoran for 2 weeks, ID languages were very helpful in this regard and were able to book accommodation on my behalf.

The course was very well organised and the timetable and schedule were well presented and given in advance. The teaching was of a very high standard. The teachers were all very positive and professional. They really knew their stuff! There was plenty of time to talk one-to-one with the teachers if needed and support was always available. As for the course content, it was very thorough and covered all aspects of teaching from teaching difficult grammar content to dealing with unruly teenagers! The qualification was of a high standard and fully accredited and recognised by all relevant employers. Furthermore, the support provided after the course was very good too as there were opportunities to chat to former students as well as help to find work. You never felt like you left alone during or after the course. So if you are looking to improve and develop your life, there is not better time to take up this fantastic course online.
