There is a flexible “ladder” system in place which in many casesallows you to progress from one award to the next.

For those returning to education from employment or for thosewith other commitments, CIT has a varied part-time andevening programme, one of the largest at third level in thecountry.

CIT is the largest Institute outside Dublin. It has fourprincipal campuses:

Bishopstown Campus Bishopstown, Cork

CIT Crawford College of Art & Design (CIT CCCAD) Cork City

CIT Cork School of Music (CIT CSM) Cork City

National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI) Ringaskiddy, Co. Cork

The main campus of some eighty acres is situated in thewestern suburbs of Cork city. It is comprehensively equippedwith lecture rooms, laboratories, theatres, drawing studios,library, computer suites, open-access computing centre, andresearch units. The student centre includes a common room,café, shop, Students’ Union, clubs, and societies. Recreationalfacilities include a championship standard running track, tenniscourts, all-weather pitch, an excellently appointed gymnasium,and grass playing pitches. A heated indoor public swimmingpool and fitness centre (Leisureworld) is located alongside theInstitute.

The student population comprises approximately10,500between full-time and part-time courses. Courses are offered inEngineering, Science, Business, Humanities, Fine Art, Applied Art,Ceramics, Multimedia, Informatics, Music, and Theatre & Dramaat Higher Certificate, Degree and Honours Degree level. There isalso an extensive range of postgraduate research and taughtprogrammes at Masters and Doctoral level.

The third-level courses offered by CIT are nationally andinternationally recognised by the Quality & QualificationsIreland (QQI). In November 2012, QQI was established as a newintegrated agency (replacing the Further Education & TrainingAwards Council (FETAC), the Higher Education & Training AwardsCouncil (HETAC) and the National Qualifications Authority ofIreland (NQAI), and incorporating the functions of the IrishUniversities Quality Board). FETAC, HETAC, and NQAI are nowdissolved.

QQI is responsible for the external quality assurance of furtherand higher education and training (including English languageprovision), and validates programmes and makes awards forcertain providers in these sectors. QQI is also responsible for themaintenance, development and review of the NationalFramework of Qualifications (NFQ).

Awards and qualifications formerly made by HETAC and FETACcontinue to be recognised, because they are on the NFQ.Current programmes leading to a HETAC or FETAC award arenow awarded by QQI. The Institute has always sought thewidest possible recognition for its courses and has establishedrelationships with a wide variety of professional bodies for thatpurpose. For example, CIT’s engineering courses are accreditedby Engineers Ireland and consequently have world-widerecognition. CIT’s business courses gain exemption andrecognition from a variety of accounting, marketing, andmanagement professional bodies.

Effective contact with industry has been a key objective of theInstitute since its inception. The benefits of the links which havebeen established with industry in the region are reflected in thehigh levels of student placement, and in the R & D contractswon by the Institute.

CIT offers students an opportunity to pursue courses of provenmerit in a progressive and caring environment where students’needs are treated as paramount.

The National Framework of Qualifications

The National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) provides a way to compare qualifications, and to ensure that they are qualityassured and recognised at home and abroad. The Framework of Qualifications is an official national system for describing andlinking all educational qualifications.

The Framework has been established by the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland (NQAI), a State body established under theQualifications Act 1999.

All educational awards have been assigned “levels” in the National Framework of Qualifications. For example: The benefit for you,the continuing education student, is a clearer progression to further study, as well as national and international recognition of theawards you achieve.

Level 6 → Higher Certificate

Level 7 → Ordinary Bachelor Degree

Level 8 → Honours Bachelor Degree; Higher Diploma

Level 9 → Master’s Degree; Postgraduate Diploma

Level 10 → Doctoral Degree

Continuing Education Courses 2015-2016

Modularisation & Semesterisation

CIT operates a Credit Based Modular System. This is compliantwith the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). The academicyear is divided into two equal halves, and each semester willnormally consist of six modules each worth five credits.

What is a Semester? A semester is half of an academic year. Each semester is of 15weeks duration for which learners can earn 30 credits. TypicallySemester 1 begins in September and ends in January whileSemester 2 starts in January and ends in May.

What is a Module?A module is a standalone unit of learning and assessment and iscompleted within one semester. A full-time student willnormally study six modules in each semester; part-time andACCS students will have flexibility as to the number of modulestaken.

What are Credits? Credits are a measure of the amount of learning within amodule. They are awarded to learners who successfullycomplete the assessments in a module. A full-time year of studyis worth 60 credits; this is the European norm under the ECTSsystem. In CIT, one credit is equivalent to approximately 20 - 25hours of student learning of all types, including lectures,practicals, tutorials, assignments, and independent study.

ACCS SchemeACCS is an acronym for “Accumulation of Credits andCertification of Subjects”. This scheme allows students (forspecified courses) - instead of studying an entire course – tostudy one or more modules of that course. Modules passed, arecertified individually, and can be accumulated, leading to anaward of Higher Certificate, Degree or Honours Degree.

Recognition of Prior Learning

“learning from life counts too”

CIT knows that learning takes place throughout life and in manysettings, such as work or voluntary activities, sporting andparticipation in community events. We also know that learnersmay dip in and out of formal education throughout a lifetimedepending on the needs of the learner. Relevant learning mayhave been gained in formal, non-formal or informal settings andmay allow the individual to gain entry to a course or to gaincredit for a module on a course.

CIT has a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Service wherelearning from all aspects of life may be presented forassessment towards credit or a grade or for advanced entry ontoa programme.

Part 3 Experiential Group ProcessThe purpose of the Experiential Group Process module is toprovide the students with a facilitated group experience throughwhich they will have the opportunity to develop Personalprocess competencies which are necessary for theirdevelopment as Counselling trainees.

Dual RelationshipsDue to the personal and experiential nature of the course, it isgenerally not possible to have staff or students with significantexisting personal or professional relationships in the samecourse group. Where possible, every effort is made to overcomethis difficulty by placing them in separate groups. Oftentimesthis solution is not possible and in these instances, the dualrelationship may prevent the applicant from being offered aplace on the course at that time.
