- Dún Laoghaire College of Further Education (DCFE)
- Sallynoggin College of Further Education (SCFE)
- Senior College Dún Laoghaire, College of Further Education (SCD)
Post Leaving Certificate (PLC) courses are provided to assist school leavers, adults returning to education and those seeking second chance educational opportunities. A wide variety of courses are on offer suiting local and national employment needs.
Who studies at our Colleges?
Young Adults
Recent school leavers who wish to gain professional qualifications and adults who wish to by-pass the CAO/CAS point system and pursue an alternative pathway to certification.
Adults Returning to Education
Some courses are scheduled for morning or afternoon only. This is to accomodate existing commitments that students may have. The College offers up-skilling and retraining opportunities for those who haven't studied for a while or for those looking for a new career and a fresh start. Some adults may qualify to retain their social welfare benefit while studying.
Graduates
College graduates looking to enhance their employment prospects with specific additional skills will find a wide range of career enhancing courses.
International Students
Our colleges welcome students of all nationalities. International non-EU students must comply with Irish immigration requirements. Language support is provided for non-English speakers.
Access to Higher Education
College of Further Education graduates gain professional qualifications that are certified and accredited by nationally and internationally recognised examining bodies. Many courses have degree progression options to Universities and Institutes of Technology.
