Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Professional Accreditation of Higher Education Courses: Discussion

Professor Orla Sheils:

It is a possibility. I take the point that for classes or courses where there are very small numbers but where we are relying on what are effectively sole traders to supervise, that becomes difficult and it would be easier not to do it, but I do not think it is an insurmountable challenge. The list of potential placement supervisors could also be vetted as part of that pre-approval in order that there would be a good sense of the ecosystem into which the students would be placed.
