General Information
What is Pre-Course Placement?
Learners applying for courses featured in this booklet will be given an appointment by Career Guidance to attend a pre course placement session. These are usually conducted in group sessions however individual appointments can be made. This session usually consists of a written task and sometimes a numerical and/or a computer task. The purpose of this is to ensure learners are placed on courses at a FETAC level that will allow them to succeed. Following the pre course placement learners who have applied for a FETAC level 3, 4 or 5 course may find themselves being offered an alternative level course. This may happen because the original level course is not suitable for them at this time. The alternative level course will be offered so that the learner can gain the skills required to participate and progress in the at the next opportunity. Prospective learners have the opportunity to discuss this with an Adult Education Guidance Officer at any of the Open Days (see back page).

What is FETAC?

The Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC) was the statutory awarding body for further education and training in Ireland. From June 2001 until the establishment of Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) on 6 November 2012, FETAC made awards at levels 1 to 6 on the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ). Awarding body for FETAC is QQI. The National Framework of Qualifications is a system of ten levels, each of which has nationally agreed standards setting out what you are expected to know, understand and be able to do following successful completion of a programme. A major award (often called the full certificate) typically gives eligibility for progression to learning opportunities at the next level on the Framework. Each award, regardless of type, has a specific credit value which must be achieved. Credits tell you about the volume of learning involved. One credit reflects up to ten hours of learning effort. Credit values help you plan and manage your learning. Almost all major awards are made up of one or more minor (component) awards. Minor awards recognise achievement of small building blocks of learning. They are knownas components because they are part of a broader set of requirements for a major or other award.
