Creative Studies for Special Needs QQI Level 6 6N1972 & Early Childhood Arts & Culture QQI Level 6N1936

Tuesday 7 – 10pm / 40 weeks (and selected Saturdays)

These two courses will be taught together and will cover a wide range of visual and performing arts, play activities for early childhood and children with special needs. The content implements theoretical perspectives and hands on activities to demonstrate the benefits of creative art to the development of an individual child. A pool of teachers will provide instructions and practical support based on their own experience in therapeutic play, music therapy, drama, visual art, crafts and more. The learners will gain in knowledge in how to plan, organise, deliver and evaluate an art activity.

Fee: €300 (concs. apply).

All BTEI courses are exempt from fees where applicants are in receipt of a social welfare payment, hold a medical card or did not complete a leaving certificate or equivalent. Otherwise the following fees apply; €75 (QQI level 3 & 4) or €150 (QQI level 5 & 6).

PPS numbers must be submitted prior to starting a BTEI course.

Please Note: All courses require a minimum number so therefore all classes must be booked and paid for before the course begins. Start dates will be confirmed only when we have enough interest to make the course viable.
