Located in Clonroad Business Park, just off the Clon Road in Ennis, we provide relevant and innovative Further Education and Training courses for learners, local communities, and enterprise in Clare. We offer an extensive range of full-time and flexible, part-time courses at our large state-of-the-art campus. Courses range from non-accredited right up to QQI Level 5 and 6 Major Awards, including apprenticeship. These provide routes to employment, progression to further study, social opportunities, and so much more.
The campus also offers Youthreach, which gives 15 to 20-year olds a second chance to achieve a first-class education. Our Information and Guidance team is also here to support you to make informed choices on education, training, career and employment. Further information on this service can be found here.
This video from our recent Campus Open Day gives a snapshot of our campus facilities and courses.
