    I'm afraid I don't know what it qualifies you for. Perhaps it is in relation to teaching in VTOS centres etc?

    hi,

    From 2013 you will need a 'teaching qualification' to work in the FE sector - plc/adult/etc. 'For those making application after 01 April 2013, a Council approved teacher education qualification in Further Education' - from their site.

    Teaching council have done some work on new qualifications for this area but no courses have been launched yet by the colleges/universities. I would do some more research as that course possibly won't be recognized or suitable.

    thanks

    Try the Open Learning Centre, National University of Ireland, Galway.

    They run a Masters in Adult Learning and Development. Distance/blended learning, it is a great course. Give them a ring
