Education
The college offers a Higher Diploma in Arts in Primary Education accredited by the Department of Education and Skills. The programme blends online and face-to-face tuition, and is aimed at those who want to continue working while studying for their teaching qualification. The programme is also suited to individuals who do not have time to spend commuting to and from lectures daily. Since its first intake of students in 2003, the programme has grown to the point where it now provides more primary school teachers each year than any other course in Ireland. The programme results in a HETAC Level 8 award and is professionally accredited by the Teaching Council of Ireland.
The college also runs a Professional Diploma in Education (previously the H.Dip. in Arts in Post Primary Education*) which was established to encourage a broader range of people to consider teaching as a profession by providing a more flexible route to becoming a fully qualified post primary school teacher.
In addition, the college delivers continuous professional development courses for teachers, a masters qualification in teaching and learning and online PhD's in education.
