Lonely Planet has called Cork “Ireland’s second city but first in every important respect” and the city, along with the county, is experiencing huge growth at the moment. And that’s reflected in the abundance of educational opportunities available to people living in the region.
From cloud computing to veterinary nursing and from market gardening to early childhood care, Cork Education & Traingin Board (Cork ETB) offers hundreds of further education and training courses to get you on the right career path.
Cork ETB provides multiple paths in education and training – whether you’re looking to study a full-time Post Leaving Cert (PLC) course or take up on an evening class. There is literally a pathway for every learner, no matter what your educational background or your job history.

Cork ETB is the largest provider of FET in Cork, with eight centres located throughout the city and county. You can view them all here.

From business skills to hairdressing and from computer courses to early childhood care, the largest county really does have it all to offer educationally through Cork ETB.
