I am informed by FAS that all their mainstream training options are available for all people with Disabilities.

These training courses lead to certification from levels 3 – 5 in awards recognised on the National Framework of Qualifications. Entry to specialist training is open to all persons with disabilities over 16 years of age. Specialist training offers additional supports to learners which include individualised training and progression plans, literacy and numeracy support, longer training duration, adapted equipment, transport arrangements, enhanced programme content and enhanced trainer/learner ratio.
