Entry Routes to Education Fifth Year Guidance

Opportunities There has never been more opportunities in third level education and training than now for students in Ireland.

Different Routes CAO UCAS PLC’s Apprenticeships

UCAS The UK version of the CAO Closing Dates: 1 st October for Medical Courses and 1 st January for all other courses. Differences from the CAO  Personal Statement  Subjects  Apply for 6 courses and then choose from successful applications.

PLC’s Irish Colleges that don’t fall under the CAO umbrella. You have to apply to each college directly. Offer some very artistic courses:  Ballyfermot or Dun Laoghaire Allows re-entry into the CAO system. Courses vary in quality.

Questions to Ask What does the average student do after they finish the course. Does it have links in order to get me to degree level. Does this take course me to where I want to go.

Apprenticeships Many Apprenticeships Offered. Seven Phases: Four “on the job” phases and three college phases. The key to getting an apprenticeship is getting a contact.
