Programme Purpose

This programme offers learners the opportunity to achieve all or part of the NFQ Level P Certificate in General Learning . Further details about the programme e.g. Duration, Location etc are available on this register and from the provider, Kildare & Wicklow Education and Training Board

Duration Description

The programme may be offered on a full time or part time basis, depending on the needs of the Learner and the funding mechanism available to support the programme delivery. The programme is based around and overall duration of 300 hours to achieve a minimum of 30 credits. This duration includes time for both self-directed learning by the Learner and direct learning activities provided by the Leinster Cluster VECs. For Learners following the programme on a full time basis it is expected that the Learner may achieve certification in the Major Award within one academic year. For Learners following the programme on a part time basis the duration to complete the programme will depend on how many programme modules the Learner undertakes within a specified timeframe. This will be determined by the mechanism used to make the programme available to Learners. For example, Learners participating in Adult Basic Education, Literacy, Community Education and BTEI schemes may complete only one or two programme modules each year and will build credits over time. It is the intention of the Leinster Cluster VECs to ensure that a Learner has the facility to complete the programme in its entirety over a maximum of three academic years where the programme is undertaken on a part time basis. This programme is structured so that there is flexibility for Learners who do not wish to complete the whole programme and only have an interest in completing one or more programme modules. In this case a Learner may achieve a FETAC Component Certificate.
