Teagasc deliver the Green Cert on a full-time, part-time and distance education (online) basis at Teagasc Regional Education Centres, Local Offices and Agricultural Colleges. The scheduling of Green Cert courses in particular locations is an operational matter for Teagasc.

I understand that Teagasc is looking at starting 4 new part-time Green Cert classes in October 2017 in the Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal region in the following locations: Ballymote, Manorhamilton, Letterkenny and Ballybofey. The number of classes and locations will not be finalised until later in the year. The proposed classes will bring the total number of Green Cert classes in the Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal region to 16 and the total number of students enrolled to close on 500.
