The structure of a bachelor’s degree programme doesn’t suit everyone. That’s why the flexible, vocational learning – including training in practical skills and work experience – offered on FET Level 5 & 6 courses (also known as Post Leaving Certificate or PLC courses) can be a preferred option for many.

Situated in the heart of Dublin city, Liberties College has become synonymous with excellent further education and training over the past five decades. Just a stone’s throw from bustling Grafton Street, the college attracts students from all over the country, catering for school leavers, people returning to education and mature students wishing to upskill or re-skill.
Hosting over 600 students across their campus with a range of backgrounds, ages, cultures, experiences and nationalities, the bubbling atmosphere of Liberties College is truly one of a kind. QQI Level 5 and 6 courses act as the perfect stepping stone, featuring options on childcare, tourism, creative arts, healthcare, social studies, youth work and more. Liberties College also has great pre-apprenticeship opportunities in IT Networks and Software development where you can progress to “pay as you learn” apprenticeships.
