There are probably FETAC Level 5 courses in private colleges. They tend to be much more expensive than the ETB run ones, but they run at odd times, like through the summer, or evenings etc..

Here are a couple for example (no recommendation implied)

I don't know it, but make sure they are offering full awards in each module, not minor awards.
