The Sport & Leisure Management course has proven so popular that we have also introduced a Level 6 Advanced Certificate in Health, Fitness & Sport Performance, thus providing further progression opportunities locally. We also offer a course in Sport Coaching for those who wish to focus on coaching skills.
Another successful and popular course is Nursing Studies. A very high percentage of past students have progressed on to Nurse Training, with strong progression links established to Nursing degree programmes at a number of universities. Courses in Community & Social Care and Health Service Skills are available for those who would like to train for employment in the Caring Profession as a Nurses’ Aide, Care Assistant or Special Care Assistant. To compliment our suite of caring courses we have also introduced programmes in Applied Social Studies at both Level 5 & Level 6.
Due to substantial demand locally for training opportunities in Hairdressing & Beauty Therapy, Monaghan Institute offers both the QQI Hairdressing Level 5 award and the City & Guilds Diploma in Hairdressing. Both have proven to be very popular courses, which complement the Level 5 Beauty Therapy programme. The most up to date equipment and facilities are available in the college’s new Hairdressing and Beauty salons.
Other QQI Level 5 courses that have been in demand over recent years include: Pharmacy Counter Assistant, Animal Care and Motor Vehicle Mechanics.
