Adult Education 2012/2013

Welcome to the BCFE 2012/13 Adult Education brochure.

BCFE has built a reputation for providing the highest standard of Learner centered education. We pride ourselves on our ability to offer high quality education courses in a friendly and relaxed environment, specifically towards adults returning to education.

We are pleased to inform you that our course fees have in general not increased and therefore continue to be not only of our usual high standard but great value for money.

It has been another busy and highly successful year for the College particularly in the area of Animation. A number of Animation night courses were delivered by BCFE in partnership with Brownbag films in the last academic year. These courses were delivered by professionals working in the industry thus giving participants a unique learning experience. This partnership with industry is something we are striving to build upon over the coming years.

With this in mind, we are again delighted to offer a range courses in Animation for semesters 1& 2. However due to the anticipated popularity of these courses and the limited number of places available, pre registration is essential and places will be allocated only when payment in full has been received prior to course commencement. Applicants applying for and / or awaiting funding for courses should be aware that payment is required in full at course commencement.

Art Portfolio Preparation is as popular following on the successful return of our summer school in this area. As always, the September Portfolio course is on offer and we are including the information for Summer school in June 2013.We expect this course to be popular, early enrolment is advised, as class size is restricted to 17.

We are delighted to continue to offer the NUIM Certificates in Counselling and Addiction Studies. Also newsworthy is that NUIM are permitting enrolment on Certificate courses to people aged 21 years or older, a change from the previous criteria of 23 years +.

In addition we are pleased to offer internal registered BCFE day students a 10% discount on Adult Education fees. IPASS and NUIM courses are excluded from this offer.

We look forward to seeing you in September!
