Course Charges & Grants

Course Charges

Students are required to pay a €100 flat registration charge for PLC programmes. Some courses have additional charges (currently under review).

The Further Education courses at ICFE provide real opportunities for a nominal cost compared to the high fees associated with private colleges.

Grants

The Department of Education and Skills has a grant scheme for qualifying Further Education students. This is known as SUSI and there is specific information about grants for PLC or Further Education students here: https://susi.ie/eligibility/plc-student/

The Back to Education Allowance (BTEA)

(BTEA) is a scheme for unemployed people, lone parents, and people with disabilities who are getting certain payments from the Department of Social Protection.

BTEA is not an unemployment payment. If you are signing for unemployment credits or submitting medical certificates for illness credits, you may apply to take part in the scheme.

Courses must be full-time and lead to a certificate approved by QQI. Please contact the college or your local Intreo office for more information.

 

Back to Education Initiative (Part-time) Courses

These courses are similar to the above but are run on a part-time basis. The part-time option is often a very effective way for adult learners to re-engage with education.

For more information on any of these schemes, please contact the college or your local Intreo office.
