ILEP list of English schools in Ireland (Stamp 2)
If you want a Stamp 2 visa to study English in Ireland, your course almost certainly needs to be on the Interim List of Eligible Programmes (ILEP). Here is what that means in plain English.
ILEP in one minute
ILEP is Ireland's official register of education programmes that qualify non-EEA students for Stamp 2 study permission. Schools and courses move on and off the list — always check the current register, not an old brochure.
Why it matters for English students
- • Without an ILEP course, a Stamp 2 English-language plan usually fails at immigration.
- • Visa-eligible courses are typically 25+ weeks with enough weekly classroom hours.
- • GoStudy only highlights ILEP-verified schools so you can compare safer options first.
How to check a school
Open the school profile on GoStudy, confirm ILEP status and visa-eligible courses, then double-check the official gov.ie ILEP list before you transfer fees.
