Cork English College

Learn Military English in Ireland.
Designed to prepare potential NATO staff officers for their roles in the NATO Alliance and for possible UN peacekeeping appointments, CEC Military English courses are both stimulating and wide-ranging in their delivery and content. English language development and active participation in practical course work is encouraged, and is fully supported by authentic discussion, current affairs, written communication and planning activities.

The most popular study programmes related to English for Military Purposes are the NATO STANAG (Edition 3) SLP 3 and SLP 4 Certificate courses. Duration of the course is normally 4 – 7 weeks; however, CEC Military English courses can be tailored to meet the precise requirements of particular sponsors. The maximum class size is 10 Officers/SNCOs.

Our military English training is concerned with creating an understanding of the functional communication skills necessary for personnel employed in NATO and UN Peacekeeping appointments worldwide. It is therefore suitable for military officers, diplomatic service staff, civil servants, intelligence officers and international security operatives.

Courses include excursions to professional and cultural places of interest and include presentations on specialised subjects. To date, the CEC military cadre has enjoyed considerable success and courses run year round. A high proportion of students attain creditable passes at SLP 3 and SLP 4 levels, which allows them to subsequently establish themselves in international roles with ease and confidence; indeed, many former trainees are currently serving in NATO and UN appointments. Selected courses are conducted for VIPs and personnel of high rank only.
