COMPUTING COURSE - A FEW PLACES REMAIN
A few places still remain on the one year Business/Computing PLC Course at Clonakilty Community College. Over the last 40 years, this course has a great record of participants taking up employment locally and is especially suited to those wishing to learn new skills or update existing skills. This year the coure was under threat, and there were doubts that it would continue. Thankfully a determined campaign of resistence ensued with the Town Council passing a unanimous motion calling for it's retention. The fight paid off and enrolling is now taking place.The course is ideally suited to those wishing to return to the workplace after a brief or long absence e.g. mothers hoping to return to the workplace or for those recently made redundant. Over the years I have recommended a number of people to do this course and they never again looked back. They all got full time jobs locally afterwards.
People on certain social welfare payments may retain their entitlements and may also be entitled to a Back to Education scheme which provides students with an allowance of €500 at the start of each academic year. The course includes a two-week work placement in the local area. Over the years, many students have been invited back to their work experience placement as full-time employees. The course is also suitable for Gap year students or for those students who did not get their preferred college place. Previous experience of business or computers is not required. The Business Studies/Computing course is a one-year course which runs daily from 9.30am-1.30 p.m. Upon successful completion, students receive a FETAC level 5 Business Studies Certificate and an ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence) Certificate. Both certificates are widely recognised by employers and higher education colleges in Ireland and abroad. If you would like to speak to someone about the course and find out what it entails please contact the school on 023/8833877 or 086/0563100.
