I am informed that the person in question can expect to be offered a place on a GID course in June/July 2012. I understand that the person in question was referred to the FÁS Ballyfermot GID course waiting list on 16th January, 2012. However, due to the high demand for this course there are a number of other FAS clients also on the waiting list. The structure of the FÁS Ballyfermot GID course scheduling system is designed to maximise available training provision for eligible clients wishing to participate on the course. The GID course is 12 days in duration and FÁS Ballyfermot simultaneously deliver both day and evening GID courses over a period of 6 weeks.
