Interviews

Interviews are an opportunity to discuss your learning needs and the programme you are applying for and to address any queries you may have.  The key question is “why have you applied for this course?”.  It is useful to have some research done on the career/further education options for your chosen programme.

Interviews will be held in May and places will be offered at that stage. Please allow time for your application to be processed.

Further interview will be held in late August and into September to fill any remaining places.  Therefore early application is advisable.

Learners may be garda vetted for work experience purposes for health care and childcare programmes.  Garda Vetting forms are only issued at interview and must be sent through the college for processing.  It is useful if you have a list of all addresses you lived at from birth to present, so that the form can be sent for processing on the day of interview.  It can take weeks for it to be processed.
