In response to the cost-of-living crisis, we are implementing a significant reduction in fees for all domestic (EU, EEA, Stamp 4) students undertaking a PLC course in the upcoming academic year. All charges, excluding a nominal, non-refundable, registration charge of €50, will be waived.

All charges including Student Services/Materials, exam fees and other course-specific fees are being waived for the 2023/2024 academic year, apart from the €50 registration fee.

Please note that fees associated with optional qualifications additional to the main qualification may not be waived. Optional qualifications are those that are additional to the QQI major award you are registering to participate in. An example of such an optional qualification would be the First Aid qualification offered to the Regional Tour Guiding course students. This would be separate to the main QQI qualification offered on this course. Any such charges will be notified to students at the commencement of their course in September.

What this change means is that the vast majority of students will only pay the €50 non-refundable deposit to complete one of our courses for the forthcoming academic year.

For any applicants who have paid more than the €50 non-refundable deposit, the college will be in touch with you over the next few weeks to arrange for a refund of any money over this €50 registration deposit.
