Hide-All CTEC courses are run on a part-time, flexible basis and training courses for individual QQI modules are all of less than 3 months duration. CTEC does not require learners to pay in full in advance for any of our training programmes. CTEC does not run any full or part time courses leading to major awards. All our training courses are for individual modules only. Learners wishing to pursue a QQI major award should book individual modules from the course schedule. You can gradually build up your qualifications and credits towards a major award in this way, at a pace that suits you. You do not have to undertake all modules at CTEC and we will be happy to advise you on funding and training opportunities with other organisations. CTEC does not ask learners to pay in full in advance for any major award courses.

QQI level 5 National Certificate in Health Service Skills 5M3782 PEL Arrangements:

Should any learner choose to pay in full in advance for the above major award certificate, CTEC has put in place arrangements to ensure that sufficient funds are available to refund learner course fees in the event that we are unable to deliver this programme in full. QQI have approved these arrangements so that learners are fully protected in the unlikely event that a refund is required.

Terms and Conditions Booking Courses:
· To book a training course, please complete an application form. You should send your form and a non-refundable deposit of €50 to CTEC, Norse Gate House, St Peter’s Square, Wexford.

· If you need to extend your payment plan over a longer period, we will be happy to discuss payment options with you. There are no additional charges for an extended payment plan that has been agreed with CTEC.

Refunds of Deposits:
· If you have paid a deposit for a training course and in the unlikely event that CTEC is forced to cancel this course for any reason, your deposit will be refunded in full with 14 days of the date your course should have started. We will try to give as much notice as possible of course cancellations.

· As a community training centre, we are aware that individual circumstances may change. If you cancel your course a minimum of 5 working days before the start of your training course, your deposit will be refunded within 14 days of our receipt of your cancellation notice.
