Entry Requirements
This is a one year add on for those who already hold an NFQ Level 7 in Social Studies or Social Care. All applicants will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Lifelong Learning reserves the right to require applicants to attend for an interview to determine their suitability for the programme. Ideally applicants should currently be employed in an Early Childhood setting. NB. Because this programme requires 500 hours placement that will bring students into contact with children and vulnerable adults, IT Carlow is committed to ensuring that only suitable candidates are allowed to undertake these programmes. IT Carlow uses the Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU) vetting service to assess the suitability of all applicants. Therefore, offers on this programme are conditional and could subsequently be withdrawn if applicants do not meet the Garda Vetting requirements.
