Here are some questions and answers which may be helpful:
Is the training open to school going members or do they need to be in
third level education ?
. We can make training available to whoever wants it, and has the time and
interest to finish it out. It would be tough to balance the training along with
the leaving cert at the same time, but it could be done. If someone left school
early without the leaving cert, that’s not a problem from our perspective.
Some people struggle with school but do well in these training programmes.
Is there a minimum age ?
. Not really, but 17 is probably the youngest age worth considering, as you will
need to have a lot of self-motivation to finish things out.
Is there a limit to the number of entrants, is there only one position on
each course available ?
. We have 10 x courses Code Institute available, and we can acquire more if
needed. The Code Institute courses sell for around €6,000 each, so we would
just ask that whoever takes one is prepared to take it seriously and put in the
time needed. Not everyone who starts the training will finish it, but we want
people who will give it a real shot.
What is the duration of the course, how many hours per week would be
involved?
. For the software course, they would need more commitment than for the
marketing course. Daily 3 hours at least so that they can finish in around 6
months. For marketing daily 1-2 hours should be enough.
Can you give us more detail on the University Credit Rating and how it
might be applied to further education courses in Ireland?
. The Code Institute course is a Level 5 Diploma on the European Qualification
Framework, accredited by Edinburgh Napier University and recognized by the
Higher Education Authority in Ireland. It’s also recognised in the US, Canada
and many parts of Europe. There is more information available here:
