    Just curious to know, is anyone on here actually considering doing another FETAC Level 5 course now or just try to apply for FETAC Level 6?
    If i were you i'd apply for FETAC Lvl 6 coz you can still go to college with that too :)

    its actually easier to progress from level 6 than apply with level 5 as its counted as the first yr of college depending on results

    Yeah, nursing seems impossible to get into. The transfer thing would be sweet.
    Would applied social care help with nursing in the future? Maybe when you're there get friendly with the nursing lecturers, improve your chances for next year!

    give them an oul wink or two ;);) dats plan E :p well see if i du level 7 i can still get grants and stuff for a level 8 if i got into nursing next yr where as if i started level 8 and got accepted into nursing next yr i would have to pay my way through first year again with no help :p

    I'll definitely report back into this thread after the round 2 offers come through :)

    I'm nearly certain something must have gone wrong with my application, but I genuinely don't know what.

    A few people who done the same course as me and got less distinctions got places in courses which I applied for :confused:

    They're off their heads at fetac man im telling you. I sent of three appeals three months ago and heard nothing from them. Wondering what was going on I rang them and complained. Sure enough two days later they corrected them. Apparently, they had "forgotten". Seriously, what a joke. I doubt they even looked at them and to top it all off even if my appeal had been successful they wouldn't have made it in time for round one offers I was told. Fetac...what can I say?

    I did my PLC in 2010, with the old scoring system i got 345 points, but I didnt get an offer today, so I rang the college (like it said to do on the letter) and they say my PLC is only worth 170 points :eek:
    with this new scoring system they're basically making my year spent doing the FETAC course worthless :eek:

    Hi guys,

    So a week ago I received a re-check back which brought my results up to 5 distinctions. The course I want to do requires 5 distinctions but i didn't receive any offers today. I'm thinking that my re-check wasn't taken into account. Does anyone know who I could contact? Thanks in advance.

    Contact the college you applied to or the cao to make sure they had the results on file. It may say five but really you need the 8. Nursing says five but i didnt even get in with 9 and also the course may require the distinctions in certain modules to be considered .. Hope this helps

    I was lucky enough to get offered both of my no.1 choices. Computer applications in dcu and computing (level 6) in nci.
    I'll be taking Computer Applications in dcu. (I was given the offer on the basis of mature grounds as this course has no fetac entry path.)

    As long as your FE centre has an agreement with the Institute of Technology and that you have the relevant minor programmes (modules). Be very careful of assuming all Level 6 awards are accepted. It is very much on a case by case basis and really is between the bigger FE centres in Dublin, Cork, Cavan, Galway, Limerick etc and the Institutes of Technology. So check it out.

    FETAC are not responsible for your appeals or corrections - it is your centre. FETAC would have notified the centre of your call and threaten them with a review of their QA agreement.
