The QQI level 6 Special Purpose Award in Training & Development consists of two separate modules – QQI level 6 Training Needs Identification and Design and QQI level 6 Training Delivery & Evaluation. When you successfully complete both modules you will be awarded a QQI level 6 Special Purpose Award. If you already have a FETAC level 6 Train the Trainer Award, contact CTEC to see if you can gain an exemption towards part of the new Special Purpose Award.

You can study for the QQI level 5 Early Childhood Care & Education National Certificate and QQI level 6 Early Childhood Care & Education Advanced Certificate as evening classes at CTEC. Again, classes are modular so you can study in the evenings until you gain your major award. Selected modules at QQI level 6 are run following the Montessori Methodology.

Our QQI level 5 Health Service Skills course is ideal for those wishing to train as healthcare assistants and work in nursing homes, the local community and with care agencies. Day and evening courses are available.
