Monaghan Institute campus. 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.

Applications for vacancies on courses are currently being accepted. Post Leaving Certificate and mature students are welcome to apply. A recent study shows that over one-third of students on Post Leaving Certificate courses are 21 years or over. Many mature students are in receipt of allowances under the VTOS scheme (for the long term unemployed). Maintenance Grants are also available – subject to means test. Website: www.susi.ie
