CT EC- FREE courses for Women leading to QQI Healthcare Awards

CTEC, the Community Training & Education Centre is pleased to announce that it has been successful in its bid for funding under the Department of Justice and Equality PEIL programme. Funding in excess of €200,000 has been granted to provide free training programmes leading to QQI Level 5 & QQI Level 6 Early Childhood Care & Education and QQI Level 5 Health Service Skills to Women who are not on the live register.

QQI Level 5 Early Childhood Care & Education is now a statutory requirement for those wishing to work in a childcare setting while QQI level 6 is a requirement for all room leaders / supervisors or managers in a childcare setting.

QQI Level 5 Health Service Skills is the statutory requirement for those wishing to work as a Healthcare Assistance in any public or private nursing home or with the HSE in hospitals or providing care in the community.

These are two areas where there are currently employment opportunities both part-time and full-time and this is why these particular sectors were targeted by CTEC in their application.

These programmes are totally free to participants who are unemployed and who are not on the live register. The courses will be delivered on a part time basis, one day per week and classes are not run during school summer holidays in order to make the courses more accessible to.

This initiative is part supported by the Irish Government and the European Social Fund (ESF) 2014-2020 as part of the Programme for Employability, Inclusion and Learning (PEIL) 2014-2020

Courses are starting now but there are still some places remaining. So contact CTEC NOW for information and to see if you are eligible for a Free training course.
