Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $157 a day this sits near the top of the range, against a $69 median for music & dance. It is cheaper than 2 of the 13 music & dance options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Ireland
- 1 other option in Ireland, starting with farm-to-table cookery certificate in Shanagarry from $12,000.
- When to go
- Workable across 3 months of the year — Jun-Aug. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 7 days, but the honest range is 5 to 21. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
