Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
Reform of Third Level Education: Discussion
2:30 pm
Mr. Fergal Costello:
We do, in the sense that we fund institutes of technology which provide the bulk of apprenticeship education. In terms of the qualifications framework, I believe it is called a level 6 further education qualification and that is under review by the qualification authority. From our point of view as a funding agent it is in there with everything else.
