Financing Your Studies
We do everything in our power to keep our fees as low as possible.
The following facts may be of assistance to you:
- Registered employers should contact FÁS as it may be possible to reclaim fees (at leaast in part) for employee courses through retraining grants or tax incentive schemes.
- Consider the money spent on your continuing education as an investment in your future. Visit your bank or credit union and convince them of this.
- Students undertaking part-time courses, which lead to certain awards, may be eligible for tax relief on their fees. It is the responsibility of the prospective student to check the details of the tax relief schemes prior to enrolment in the College.
- In some cases, students have received assistance in paying fees from Partnership Boards, Enterprise Boards, Chambers of Commerce, the Department of Social and Family Affairs, FÁS (those on CE schemes) and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
- The introduction of payment by credit card has assisted many people to phase their payments.
Course Fees
Course fees cover the cost of tuition only. Registration and examination fees for professional bodies are payable directly to these institutions. Students will be advised of these details on course commencement. Failure to pay registration and examination fees by notified dates will result in students not being eligible to sit examinations. A booking deposit of €250 is required to secure a place on a particular course and, in all cases, fees must be paid in full seven working days prior to course commencement.
Refund policy
All courses run subject to demand and the formation of a viable class cohort. A full refund will be given to all applicants in the event that a course does not proceed. A refund less an administrative fee of €75, will be given to candidates who withdraw their application up to seven working days prior to course commencement. Once a student has enrolled on and commenced a programme of study, no part of any course fee is refundable or transferable. No refund will be made under any circumstances to students who fail to attend classes or who do not complete a course. Course commencement and start dates are dependent upon a viable cohort formation.
Tax Relief
Certain courses are eligible for tax relief. It is the responsibility of the prospective student to check the details of the relevant tax relief schemes prior to enrolment in the College.
