FETAC

FETAC is the national awarding body for further education and training in Ireland, the Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC) gives people the opportunity to gain recognition for learning in education or training centres, in the work place and in the community.
FETAC's mission is to make quality assured awards in accordance with national standards within the national framework, creating opportunities for all learners in further education and training to have their achievements recognised and providing access to systematic progression pathways.

As part of our development of the Donnycarney Youth Project we are proud to announce that we have now become a FETAC registered centre.

The Donnycarney Youth Project believes in providing opportunities for people to access training & accredited learning in a supportive, fun & friendly manner through group & individual work. Based on the adult education style of learning- we believe that empowering people in their learning empowers the community in general. The philosophy of empowering a community through it’s members is important to the project- that’s why when we have established ourselves as a centre we’ll be offering courses in areas such as cultural studies, computers, personal development, communications, literacy, cookery, health awareness & caring for children to our clients.

One of the main advantages of FETAC courses means that wherever your life takes you, you take a recognised standard of learning with you. You can build up skills beyond Junior & Leaving Certificate levels within courses that appeal to you & your skills. By gaining the certificates in the subjects you’re interested in, you gain the confidence to realise your goals. FETAC courses are recognisable standards of learning or training achieved through a recognised centre in the workplace or the community.

The Donnycarney Youth Project recognised that FETAC courses offer opportunities to build on learning and aid progression to third level. In order to comply with the standards set by the FETAC Awarding body the registration process was undertaken. A full list of the FETAC modules we will deliever will be published to this page soon.
