Tipperary FET College supports employers and apprenticeships by providing apprenticeship training at our modern, well-equipped training centres.
An apprenticeship is a programme of structured education and training which combines learning in the workplace with learning in an education or training centre.

In Archerstown, we also have apprenticeships for Electronic Security Systems, Plumbing, Construction Plant Fitting, Commis Chef and Sales, while the National Hairdressing Apprenticeship is also provided in Templemore.
What are Tertiary degrees?
Tertiary degrees are partnerships between ETBs and universities which provide access for people to university degrees, without going through the conventional CAO points system. It’s a different route to the same degree.
Tertiary Degree students don’t pay fees in Year 1 when they’re studying at an ETB, and entry requirements are never based on the CAO points system. Selection criteria is specific to that degree, including certain subject requirements, portfolios or an interview.
In Tipperary, four Tertiary Degrees are available to students - Applied Sports Science (a partnership between Tipperary FET College – Thurles and TUS Thurles), Digital Arts (Tipperary FET College – Clonmel and TUS Clonmel), Mental Health Nursing (Tipperary FET College – Roscrea and TUS Athlone), and Primary Teaching (Tipperary FET College – Nenagh and Mary Immaculate College, Limerick).
