It offers a re-entry route for those in the workplace who wish to upgrade their skills in line with emerging needs. With its emphasis on part-time provision students can combine a return to education and training with family, work and other responsibilities. These courses may be at reduced fees or without cost depending on a person's eligibility. Information on fees for BTEI courses is available from the General Office.
