Night Classes Information |
Information
Whether you are looking for a sociable way to learn a language or whether you are looking to gain a particular formal qualification, the range of night classes available throughout Ireland should provide you with what you need.
Night classes take place during term time in Vocational Educational Committees (VECs), FÁS Training Centres, schools, colleges and universities throughout the country. The courses on offer vary from centre to centre so it is worth looking around if you have a particular interest you would like to pursue.
In general you need to enrol a few weeks before the course starts. Enrolment takes place around mid September, again in mid-January and, in those centres with a summer term, around mid-March.
Normally, night classes are advertised locally - for example in your local newspaper, community centre, health centre, school, parish hall, etc. Your local VEC, college, secondary school and FAS Training Centre will also be able to give you details on the courses that are on in your area and when they begin.
The majority of night classes are unaccredited and, as a result, you will not need any formal qualifications to take part. However, if you are interested in a course that offers a particular qualification, you may be required to have some prior qualification or experience in order to be eligible. Get in touch with the course organisers in advance, to check if there are any academic or professional qualifications required for your course.
The only requirement for most night classes is that you pay the fee in advance.
Rates
Night classes are generally self-funding so the cost of your course will relate directly to the cost of the materials you will need. As a result, costs may differ greatly from course to course.
How to apply
The VEC usually organises a registration evening where you go along in person, sign up and pay for the course in advance.
Application forms are generally available for FÁS courses. These must be completed by a set date and returned with advance payment. You can apply online for FÁS training courses at www.fas.ie
