The Back to Education Initiative (BTEI) provides part-time courses for young people and adults, especially those who have not completed Leaving Certificate (or equivalent) qualification. The BTEI creates an opportunity to combine a return to learning with family, work and other responsibilities. Anyone who has left full-time education can take part in a course, but priority will be given to those with less than upper second level education. You qualify for FREE tuition if you have not completed your education to Leaving Certificate standard.

BTEI can provide you with opportunities to continue your learning, get a National Certificate, develop new skills and improve your employment prospects.
