Open Courses

Open training courses allow individuals to meet with others from a variety of industry backgrounds and to share their experiences whilst acquiring new skills. Courses are run at the following locations in Ireland:

Dublin
Cork

In order to customise the open courses to individual requirements, participants are asked to complete a course participant profile form outlining their training needs. In this way, course content is relevant to each person. This, coupled with small training groups, allows for very personal training events.The stages for open course training are:
