Administration
You’ll be in excellent hands. The tutors, or if you’d prefer, the Trainer Training Trainers, are selected based on their subject knowledge, industry experience and their ability to engage with, support, and develop adult students. Not only this, but learners will also receive support between workshops by telephone, email and online.
Best of all, there’s no exams. To get your qualification, you just have to submit a portfolio of coursework plus a final assignment to Maynooth University for assessment, and finally make a brief training presentation.
Presently, the course fee is €1250 per student. If this is a bit much for you, no problem. Maynooth University are flexible enough to set up a payment plan if you need it. While there are no formal entry requirements, to take this course you do need to be 21 years of age or over, and have broadband internet and basic IT skills.
