Electronic back-up copies should also be retained. All hard copy materials will be destroyed by 30th September of every academic year.

Garda Vetting

LCFE is committed to practices which safeguard the welfare of learners, young people and vulnerable adults and thereby Garda Vetting may be conducted on courses where it is identified that possible interaction with children and vulnerable adults is a feature of the course. It is the learner's responsibility to ensure that all information is correct as any omission will mean a delay in the processing of the application.

Parking

The college does not provide parking facilities to learners. It is the learner's responsibility to park legally if they are parking in the surrounding areas. If there is sufficient interest a local car park will offer parking at a very competitive rate.
