FETAC Awards:
are Quality Assured
are Nationally and Internationally recognised
·offer access to further and higher education and training opportunities

All FETAC awards are part of the new inclusive national framework of qualifications, developed by the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland (NQAI). This Framework brings greater clarity to the Irish education and training system, making it possible for learners, employers and providers to understand and compare different types of qualifications. All FETAC awards already have a specific placing on the national framework between levels 1 and 6, allowing FETAC award holders to progress more easily within the system.
Employers will also recognise your abilities and skills because FETAC awards are quality assured.
Candidates may start their studies at FETAC level 5. A FETAC award is made up of modules of studies. Candidates may study for individual modules for which if successful they will receive a record of achievement. Candidates may also attempt to complete 8 modules in a career area and receive a Full Award in that discipline.

Course Cost

The Course fee/Registration of €200 will be charged for PLC courses from September 2011.  In line with provision in the third level sector, the cost of some items will be borne by students: books, equipment (where the items purchases become the personal property of the students), student services, registration charges by professional bodies and examination fees.

In St. Colman’s we collect a contribution in September towards the cost of books.  The students have access to these books during their time at St. Colman’s. 

Maintenance Grants

Maintenance Grants are available to PLC students.  Further details regarding Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme (VTOS) can be obtained at the school.
