Following this win, we caught up with Joelle Coade who provided us with a glimpse into the outstanding services the teamat ACET delivers. Since their inception in 1975, ACET’s main objective has been to provide English language training to a level above International stand- ards and to always exceed their customers’ expectations. Alongside offering general English courses, examination preparation courses, teacher training pro- grammes and corporate training to name but a few, the team at ACET also offers an in-house service for accommodation and social activities, all organised and managed by the company. When discussing their service offering in greater detail, Joelle begins by informing us of the diverse client base ACET delivers to, but also highlights the key areas the company specialises in. “ACET offers English language Services on so many levels to clients of all nationalities. From pre-booking advice, booking administration and language consultation to their accommoda- tion needs, transport and social activities. We sell not only English courses, but the Irish life & culture & experience. We were Cork's first English Language school and, in fact, the only remaining Language School of its type in Ireland. “Many of our clients come from all parts of the world, from a diverse range of age groups, cultures and economic backgrounds. However, we make them feel welcomed at our school regardless. In ACET, we promote inclusivity, equality and kindness. Also, we are hugely ethical and our warm family at- mosphere is spread amongst our team and clients. Most of all, we are extremely culturally sensitive and we have a genuine passion for our job.” Enabling ACET to deliver these personalised and exceptional ser- vices, is the dynamic, experienced and committed team which forms the backbone of the company. Whilst on the topic of the internal culture, Joelle is keen to reveal the significant role the team play in the overall success of the firm. “The role of the staff is very important at ACET. We take pride on being a community and family. To provide a quality service, ACET promotes a working environment which encourages empowerment, trust, cooperation and teamwork. Also, we consistently provide opportunities for our team to grow, earn and advance in our company.” Looking ahead to what the future holds, the team at ACET hope to build upon the remarkable success they have achieved over the years, which includes being select- ed in Corporate Vision’s Corporate Excellence Awards where they were righteously awarded the ac- colade Most Outstanding English Language School of the Year 2019 - Cork County.
