QQI Accredited BTEI (Back To Education Initiative) Programme

The Back to Education Initiative (BTEI) provides part-time further education courses mainly for anyone looking to upskill in preparation for further education or employment.

You can take part in BTEI if you are working and on a low income. The aim of BTEI is to give people an opportunity to combine their learning with family, work and other commitments. There are no fees for this training course, and no prior computer experience is necessary.

Our primary part-time programme is an Intermediate Computers course at QQI Level 4, which takes approx. 9 months to complete. Below are further details about our BTEI programme courses:
