INTRODUCTION
Further Education / PLC Courses 20152016
INTRODUCTION
This composite brochure provides an overall guide to full time Further Education (FE)/PLC
courses offered by Dublin and Dn Laoghaire Education and Training Board in its colleges
and centres of education around the county. It provides information on the wide range of
programmes available for school-leavers and others who wish to continue with, or return
to, education. They may wish to learn a skill to enhance their possibilities in the job market,
take professional training in a particular area, retrain in a new area for future employment or
continue in further education.
There has never been a better time for the Further Education sector in Ireland. We offer both full-time and part-time
courses in a wide range of fields catering for learners needs. Courses are easily accessible in local colleges around the
county and there is little or minimal cost involved. Dublin and Dn Laoghaire Education and Training Board is responsive
and flexible in its provision. This brochure also gives information on the supports that are available for learners in the
Further Education sector. Guidance and counselling is offered in our colleges and course co-ordinators are happy to
provide information and advice to applicants. Many students are eligible for grants and other supports.
In this time of life-long learning and employment opportunities, we would encourage more people to consider Further
Education courses. The fact that these courses are available locally and of one year duration makes them readily
accessible. Learning is valuable, in the personal as well as the economic sense, and many friendships and contacts are
made in our classes around the county. Learning can also be enjoyable!
Dublin and Dn Laoghaire Education and Training Board and its officers are pleased to receive any suggestions from the
public for improvements in the service and contact details are available in this brochure. Finally, I would like to wish all
future Further Education students success in their learning.
Mr Paddy Lavelle
Chief Executive Officer

QQI ACCREDITATION
QQI (Quality and Qualifications Ireland) is the single national awarding body for the further education and training sector
in Ireland. It was formed from the amalgamation of FETAC (Further Education and Training Awards Council) and HETAC
(Higher Education and Training Awards Council).
QQI makes awards all ten levels of the National Qualifications Framework (see chart below).
Dublin and Dn Laoghaire ETB provides a large number of Further Education courses at QQI Level 5/6 which are listed
later in this booklet for students with Leaving Certificate standard of education (or equivalent qualification). Most
courses are of either one or two years duration. Additional certification for specific courses has been obtained from
many national and international examining and professional bodies. It is important for students enrolling on a particular
Further Education course to check with individual college authorities as to whether that course leads to a QQI award in the
2015/2016 session and if it meets with the learners progression requirements.
QQI ACCREDITATION
These courses are of tremendous educational benefit to the individual and additionally can be used as a stepping stone
into third level education. There is
also an opportunity for advanced
progression into third level from
some Level 6 courses. Course coordinators can usually advise as to
links individual courses may have
with third level institutions both
in the Republic of Ireland and the
United Kingdom.
