Part-Time Courses specifically designed to support the needs of learners with intellectual disabilities at City of Dublin FET College Finglas

We offer a wide range of inclusive courses for learners with intellectual disabilities, supporting students to develop their skills, confidence and independence at different stages of their learning journey.

The courses below are an example of the programmes available at City of Dublin FET College Finglas, Barry Road. We offer courses at a variety of levels, with different learning opportunities to suit individual needs, interests and goals.

Our programmes support learners at different stages and levels, with clear opportunities to develop skills and progress to further education, training, employment, and greater independence.

We work closely with a range of disability support and community organisations, including St. Michael’s House, Avista, Autism a Cara, WALK, NLN and other local services. 

These partnerships help us to support learners and create pathways that meet their individual needs and aspirations. We also work with individuals who are not attached to a disability support service or who come to the centre independently.

Our part-time courses offer opportunities to develop practical, creative, communication and life skills, with QQI certification available on a number of courses.
