Check out with the local Intreo office, I believe the government are introducing initiatives to

promote apprenticeships.

Is cabinet making as we know it not gone as a trade no. Have they not combined it with some woodworking design coarse.

Correct..

I think they have combined it with a wood machinists course. Which

is nothing short of a joke in my opinion. Each deserves its own 4

year instruction time frame.

I think its a cost cutting exercise on both courses . I cant see how

its anything else.

I though wood machinest is gone a long time now. I thought they combined it with furniture design

I thought cabinetmaking and woodmachining were combined together, I,l have to double check

that. Could have been furniture design, so i,m open to correction there.

Ye you might actually be right but that was a good few years ago I think it has changed again in the last couple agai.

Much depends on how old you are,
http://www.gmit.ie/furniture/bachelor-science-furniture-design-and-manufacture
this is a very good course with an international reputation in GMIT
its fetac level 7 i think
So if you are over 23 you can apply as a mature student if you do not have the points (about 260 i think) to apply as a school leaver

just an idea
