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 in some cases are less expensive than before!

It has been another busy and highly successful year for the College particularly in the area of Animation.

With this in mind, we are 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.

As always, the September Portfolio course is on offer and we are including the information for Summer school in June 2012. We expect this course to be popular, early enrolment is advised, as class size is restricted to 17.

We are delighted to offer a new NUI Maynooth Certificate in Creative Writing for Publication, while still continuing 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 courses are excluded from this offer.
