College Courses

There are a wide range of programmes available at FETAC Levels 5 & 6 in the CDETB Further Education colleges throughout Dublin city (see www.cdetb.ie).  We can help students with advice, information and applications to college courses.  

Foundations Project also works in partnership with 2 CDETB colleges on courses to support students to progress into the college environment.  We help to co-ordinate a FETAC Level 5 Social Studies course in Liberties College and a FETAC Level 4 Health and Fitness course in Inchicore College. Both these courses are part-time, usually 2 -3 days a week.  They are free with no fees or costs involved and students need to apply to us, or the college during August each year.
