Is mór an pléisiúr dom tú a thabhairt isteach i gColáiste Breisoideachais Luimnigh (LCFE). Tá an Coláiste, atá ann le 55 bliain anuas, tar éis oideachas agus oiliúint den scoth a sholáthar do mhuintir Luimnigh agus níos faide anon. Is é an rud a thosaigh mar “Choláiste Tráchtála” dara leibhéal i 1963 ná Coláiste rathúil agus Breisoideachais agus Oiliúna i Réigiún an Mheán-Iarthair inniu.
As the newly appointed principal of what was previously known as Limerick College of Further Education, I am delighted to welcome you to our 2023 – 2024 prospectus. A show case of the College of Further Education and Training and the courses and pathways available at our Mulgrave Street and Kilmallock Road campuses.
Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board and its single College of Further Education and Training has evolved to be a leading educational provider in the Mid-West region, pushing the boundaries in Further Education and Training, across its 23 campuses. Our courses, teaching staff and campuses have a fantastic reputation, are noted for their excellence, and offer an exciting and inspiring range of courses.
Are you thinking of third level but feel concerned about what choice to make? Or worried about not getting enough points? We have solutions, alternatives to the points system. With our progression links to third level, you will find a path forward. Every year we prepare hundreds of learners for third level, making them more successful and reducing their risk of drop out. We also endeavour to help our learners make smarter choices, for a better future. Why risk the cost when we can ensure your future success at third level?
Are you work ready, looking to upskill or seeking apprenticeship preparation? Our employment based and industry specific courses in specialist training facilities can ensure your transition to future employment. Our work experience placements, industry links and skills training ensure that at graduation, employment is an immediate possibility.
Or maybe right now, you require a space to self-discover and explore your talents and possibilities. Every year, learners give themselves that opportunity and we are happy to support you in your lifelong learning quest.
We ensure to take the time to map out that next step with you. With our dedicated guidance and support team, you can grow whilst gaining qualifications and skills. We can offer all of that in a fully supportive learning environment, where all needs are considered and we have the wrap around supports to enable your success.
Our courses are now being offered at QQI levels 3 to level 6, so there is something there for everyone. Included are flexible and part time options, that can fit around your personal and professional needs. Other pathways including apprenticeships, traineeships and pathways to apprenticeship exist alongside such life changing options as the traditional leaving certificate. As I would suggest, FET is for Everyone.
If you are curious then come, speak to our staff, visit our campuses and enquire about our taster programmes where you can spend the day and experience what we have to offer. It’s the first step that counts.
