Greenhills College

Greenhills College, located in Dublin 12, is a provider of Further Education and Training operating under the Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board (DDLETB). The college caters to school leavers, mature students, and adults returning to education. It focuses on delivering skills-based education designed to prepare students for direct entry into the workforce or for progression into higher education.

QQI-Accredited PLC and Further Education Courses

The college offers full-time and part-time Post Leaving Certificate (PLC) courses, predominantly at QQI Level 5 and Level 6. Available disciplines include Pre-University Science, Nursing Studies, Healthcare Support, Business, Computing, Engineering, and Art. Many of these QQI awards are linked to the Higher Education Links Scheme (HELS). This allows graduates to use their further education results to apply for CAO places in universities and technological universities across Ireland.

For adult learners and career changers, Greenhills Community College provides flexible study options, including part-time programmes through the Back to Education Initiative (BTEI). Following national changes to further education funding, government PLC participant fees have been abolished, meaning courses are free of tuition charges, though minor costs for specific course materials or professional registration may apply. Applicants can consult their local Intreo office or SUSI to confirm eligibility for additional grants and financial supports.
