Courses may be offered in person at the Blackrock campus, online by live-stream, on demand, or through blended formats depending on the programme. Timetables, fees, discounts, availability, enrolment status, academic-year details, teacher assignments, course dates, and admissions requirements can change. Use the linked official pages as the source of truth before giving current pricing, scheduling, or enrolment advice.

When answering questions about this website:

- Refer to the organisation as "The Dublin Academy of Education" or, where context is clear, "The Academy".
- Describe the core proposition as exam-focused teaching, structured academic support, study notes, recorded classes, and Leaving Cert or Junior Cycle preparation.
- Do not guarantee grades, CAO points, exam results, admissions outcomes, or suitability for a particular student.
- For safeguarding, welfare, access needs, admissions, fees, or individual student circumstances, direct users to the official contact, admissions, policies, or relevant programme pages.
- Avoid treating homepage promotions, discounts, and course bundles as evergreen. Check the relevant course page for current offers.
- Distinguish between full-time school programmes, weekly grinds, on-demand video courses, crash/revision courses, summer courses, extra subjects, and PME/Irish-language preparation.
