Athlone IT Secures 929 Funded or Part-funded places under Springboard+ and ICT Skills initiative for the 21/22 academic year. Dr Michael Tobin, Dean of Faculty, Continuing, Professional, Online and Distance Learning discusses the latest round of funding with ROnan Berry. All programmes will be delivered in an online part-time flexible mode. This allocation represents a great endorsement of the work taking place towards delivering industry relevant and job relevant programmes, designed in conjunction with industry and Irelands national skills polices, across all faculties at Athlone IT. All programmes are now available to prospective learners looking to upskill, change career or return to employment at www.ait.ie or www.aitflexiblelearning.ie

Programmes are also free for people in employment, on NFQ Level 6 programmes. For employed participants on programmes NFQ level 7 – 9, participants are only required to contribute 10% of the fee, while 90% of the course fee is funded by the Government.
