Hide-Back To Education Initiative (BTEI)

The BTEI provides part-time Further Education programmes for young people and adults. It aims to give participants an opportunity to combine a return to learning with family, work and other responsibilities. Programmes are offered in partnership with a number of agencies throughout the country on a flexible part-time basis. Classes are offered throughout the year in the morning, afternoons, evenings or weekends. Courses lead to a range of accreditation at levels 1-6 on the NFQ.

Hide-Learners on this programme courses have identifiable gaps in learning especially in relation to core skills (literacy, numeracy, personal development, learning to learn, or ICT). Learners range from all ages (16 to actively retired) and come from diverse social, educational and cultural backgrounds including those who may have not have any formal education or may not have completed primary or second level education.

This programme ‘Learning for Work’ will be tailored to the needs of learners so that gaps in educational achievement to date can be addressed and learners will have the opportunity to develop confidence and acquire knowledge, skills and competencies consistent with the Level 3 Employability Skills award.

We aim to run three modules throughout the year in food and cookery, Culinary Operations, Breads, Pastries and Desserts and Nutrition and Healthy Options. All modules aim to increase the learner’s knowledge and understanding of food and cooking processes and to develop the learners ability to plan, prepare and present well-balanced, nutritional and affordable meals and breads, pastries and desserts.
