Welcome to LCFE and thank you for considering us as a centre for your learning. The College began accepting applications for 2012/13 academic year courses from 13 January 2012. Due to the high number of applicants again for the current academic year, interviews will be held for most courses in May 2012. A final round of interviews will take place in August 2012.

The best way to apply for your chosen course is through our Online Application facility. All the information you need, including course code, is available under the Day Courses section of this site. This facility is now open. To ensure you don't miss any dates, make sure to 'Like Us' on Facebook here . We provide regular updates on our Facebook page on campus events throughout the year and also post important information like key dates.

You can also download a copy of our 2012/13 Prospectus and Application Form by clicking here. Or, alternatively, a prospectus and application form may be obtained from LCFE Admissions.

When completed, forms should be posted to:

LCFE Admissions

Limerick College of Further Education

Mulgrave Street, Limerick.

Note: Most applications are now through our Online Application facility. However, if you wish to use the paper-based method, you should complete the form as follows:

• All courses have assigned codes which appear on each Course page. Write in the course code in the boxes provided in the Application Form.
• Please do not omit your mobile phone number as receipt of your application will be acknowledged by text message.
• Please be patient, it may take some weeks for LCFE Admissions to send you a text message, especially after February 1st, due to the heavy volume of applications received after that time.
• Remember to enclose a passport-size photo, a copy of your Birth Certificate and a copy of your PPS card.

All applicants are called for a short Interview. This is an informal session, with information being shared between the interviewer and the applicant. Those applying for Visual Arts and Media courses are required to bring some samples of relevant work to the Interview. Equally, those interested in Childcare, Healthcare, Hairdressing or Beauty Therapy, are advised to try to gain some relevant work experience and perhaps bring references along to their Interview. Any other evidence of relevant work done is well worth bringing along.
