Our O’Connell Avenue Campus is located in the heart of Limerick City. We offer an exciting range of part-time courses both at the campus and at various community partner locations across Limerick City.
Day-time classes are offered Monday to Friday and evening classes run on a part-time basis on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Our courses range from uncertified up to QQI Level 6 Major Awards and are aimed at those wishing to return to education, up-skill, or develop new skills.
The campus also offers Youthreach programmes, which provide young people with a flexible and dynamic system of integrated general education, vocational training, and work experience. Information and guidance are available at our Information Hub to support you to make informed choices on education, training, career, and employment. Further information on this service can be found here.

Thinking of returning to education?

If you are returning to learning as an adult, you are embarking on what will be a rewarding and enjoyable experience. Build your confidence, achieve a qualification, meet new people and improve your employment and progression opportunities with Further Education and Training.
Courses are offered as Uncertified options and at different QQI (Quality and Qualification Ireland) Levels:
  • (U) Uncertified courses are introductory and provide an opportunity to progress to certified courses. Other uncertified options focus more on Hobby and Leisure activities.
  • (L1 and L2) QQI Level 1 and 2 courses are to improve your reading, writing, numeracy, and digital skills.
  • (L3 and L4) QQI Level 3 and 4 courses build your confidence and essential life skills.
  • (L5 and L6) QQI Level 5 and 6 courses build skills and qualifications for work.
