An individual’s eligibility for Further Education and Training (FET), which includes access to Post Leaving Certificate programmes, is determined on the basis of an individual's nationality and circumstances.

A Stamp 3 permission is granted to dependents of non-EEA nationals, who hold an employment permit in the State. Currently, those with a Stamp 3 permission are not eligible for FET courses.

Please note the Department of Justice adjudicates on a person's entitlement to remain in the state and on the stamp that is awarded where permission to remain is sanctioned.
