If you have applied for a vocational training course, you may need childcare. Under the Childcare Employment and Training Support (CETS) scheme, you could qualify for a subsidised childcare place for your child. CETS can provide full-time, part-time or after-school childcare places. The CETS scheme is managed by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs (DCYA) via the City and County Childcare Committees.

For more information see here.

If you are over 21 years of age, are unemployed and have been getting certain social welfare payments for at least 6 months you can apply for the Vocational Training and Opportunities Scheme (VTOS). This scheme provides a range of courses to meet the education and training needs of unemployed people. It gives participants opportunities to improve their general level of education, gain certification, develop their skills and prepare for employment, self-employment and further education and training.

VTOS is operated through local Education and Training Boards and is aimed at unemployed people who are early school-leavers.

More Information

The Back to Education Initiative (BTEI) provides part-time further education courses mainly for people with less than upper second-level education.

It gives individuals the opportunity to combine learning with family, work and other responsibilities. Anyone who has left full-time education can take part in a course, but priority will be given to those with less than upper second-level education.

BTEI courses are usually level 3 and 4 on the National Qualification Framework (NFQ). The BTEI allows people to study part-time (up to 400 hours per year). It is possible to obtain a major award at NFQ levels 1-6 where part-time courses are undertaken on a modular basis over time and combined to complete a major award.

More Information

If you are unemployed, parenting alone or have a disability and are getting certain payments from the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (DEASP), you may take part in a second-or third-level education course and get a Back to Education Allowance (BTEA).

If you want to do other types of courses not covered under the BTEA, for example, personal development courses or general training courses, you may return to education under the Part-time Education option, the Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme (VTOS) or the Education, Training and Development option.

“Being a Tech Apprentice has been incredibly rewarding. I've had the chance to apply what I learned in the classroom, to real-world scenarios, which has deepened my understanding and allows me to become a better developer. I would highly recommend the Tech Apprenticeship to others. It's an excellent opportunity to kickstart a career in the tech industry without the burden of student debt or the challenge of entering the tech industry without experience”.

"The start of my tech career was challenging, and the FIT Pre-Tech apprenticeship was the course I needed to find out what suited me best. The different career tracks that are included in the apprenticeship gave me invaluable experience going forward, and the fantastic tutors made each module enjoyable to learn. I would absolutely recommend the pre-tech apprenticeship for anyone looking to get started on their career in tech".

“From day one, I was immersed in a dynamic learning environment where theory met practice. The program provided me with hands-on experience, allowing me to work on real-world projects under the guidance of seasoned professionals. This practical approach not only enhanced my technical skills but also taught me the importance of collaboration, problem-solving, and adaptability in the fast-paced world of software development. One of the most valuable aspects of the program was the mentorship I received. My mentors were not only experts in their field but also dedicated educators who were invested in my growth and success. I would also like to mention here that the guidance and support of my Tutor provided by FIT was instrumental in helping me navigate challenges and achieve my goals”.

“FIT is great program for practical learners from all background’s and all ages who are passionate about IT, and want to learn the fundamentals of development but have struggle to get in the door of a tech company. FIT gives you the perfect opportunity to immediately start applying yourself. I was given unique opportunities to build my own proof of concept end to end autonomy projects. I also got the opportunity to write, design and onboard API product documentation. I presented these projects on a call to senior executives. As a result I learned many skills during my apprenticeship- problem solving skills, logical and technical skills, communication skills, collaboration skills, and most importantly I felt confident in myself working in a professional tech environment”.
Tom CroftsFIT Graduate-Software Developer Associate, Mastercard
“What I like most about the training is that it balances theory and practice well. It's not just sitting in the classroom but also getting hands-on with real projects. That makes everything more interesting and easier to grasp. Without a doubt, I would recommend the Technology Apprenticeship Program to anyone looking to pursue a career in this field. The opportunity to learn and have someone guiding you is amazing and really helpful at the beginning of the journey”.

“As a Tech Apprentice, hands-on work on real projects deepened my understanding and solidified my skills. Mentorship from industry professionals was invaluable, and networking opportunities enhanced my development. Both on-the-job and off-the-job training were highly beneficial. On-the-job training refined practical skills through real-world scenarios, while workshops and online courses provided additional learning opportunities. I wholeheartedly endorse the Tech Apprenticeship for those entering the tech field. Its structured format, hands-on experience, and mentorship lay a strong foundation for budding tech enthusiasts, enhancing employability and paving the way for promising opportunities”.

“FIT have really jump-started my career in Tech, and I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone who is interested in the world of Technology”.

"FIT has given me the opportunity that I thought I had lost becoming a young mother. I financially couldn't afford years of college and in-turn crèche fees to achieve the required qualification to obtain a decent career that could support a young family. The course thought me all the practical skills that would be required in the field I was aiming to work in. In dong so I had every confidence in my interview to obtain my current role in Intel as I knew I was well capable and I had all the skills they where looking for. I am now coming up to 3 years in Intel and am grateful to FIT for helping me achieve my goal."

"FIT was part of the Work Experience Module during my year course of Business Administration and IT Level 5 and I was very impressed with their clear format. Elaine Mernagh, the training officer covered all areas brilliantly and gave excellent presentations on CVs, Interview Skills and LinkedIn. I would highly recommend FIT as part of any training course for people looking to improve their skills, whether in the workforce already or thinking about getting back into the workplace. Having FIT as part of my course was a great learning and positive experience."
