Hide-Programme Fees: €1250

PAYMENT METHODS
Fees for programmes offered through Flexible Learning differ from programme to programme. Check the details in the handbook. In some cases particular criteria apply in terms of fee payments.

If you wish to pay by cheque, bank draft or postal order, please make payable to Limerick Institute of Technology and submit with your completed registration form to the Department of Flexible Learning.

Payment by credit or debit card is possible at any time during office opening hours either in person or by telephone. If you are registering by post and wish to pay by credit or debit card, simply tick the relevant box and a member of the Flexible Learning team will contact you to take the payment by telephone.

Where fees are being paid by an employer or other third party, a sponsorship agreement must be completed by the student and employer and issued to LIT. Invoices will only be issued to employers/third parties when this is completed.

Payment of programme fees must be received from the employer prior to commencement of the programme. In the event that invoices have not been paid prior to the commencement of a programme, the student will be required to pay the fee and subsequently claim it back from his/her employer.

Please note that for security reasons, we are unable to accept cash payments.

All programme fees must be paid in full before the commencement of a programme, unless otherwise indicated. Receipts will be issued to students or employer/third party upon payment of fees. Students should retain receipts as charges may apply for issuing copies, and in some cases reissuing will not be possible.

STAFF CONCESSION PAYMENTS
Under a joint arrangement between the Limerick Institute of Technology and the City of Limerick Vocational Education Committee, a minimum number of places are reserved on some programmes for permanent whole-time staff members free of charge except where there is an external validating body.

However, these places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, up to the allocated numbers.

TAX RELIEF ON TUITION FEES
Tax relief is available at the standard rate of income tax for tuition fees paid by or on behalf of students who attend an approved programme of study which must be at least two years in duration.

Hide-Adlerian Psychology and Counselling Skills
Alfred Adler’s Individual Psychology is a dynamic, holistic and insightful model that regards people as ‘human becomings’. Adlerian psychology is an exciting and useful way to better understand people and their particular paths through life. It believes that each human being is a unity of mind, body and spirit, and therefore unique.

Individual psychology is valuable in many fields of human interaction, such as parenting, teaching, coaching, community development, group work (team building, group roles and dynamics), consultancy, management (leadership style, organisational change) and personality analysis (career planning, life planning). The Adlerian model is a systematic approach to working with individuals, families and other groups on improving the quality of their emotional lives.

Aims
• To provide students with a workable understanding of Adlerian Psychology.
• To provide students with an overview of Adlerian counselling skills.
• To enhance students’ communication skills.
• To provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to function as change agents in different settings.
• To provide students with opportunities to change and flourish in their lives.
