Notice Re: Applications to Ballyfermot College of Further Education

If you are interested in applying to BCFE for any of their 2011-2012 programmes you should note that the closing date has been brought forward to Wednesday 16th February 2011, not Wednesday 2nd March as previously published by the college.

This is because they have had such a high volume of applications this year. If you miss this deadline date check out their website http://www.bcfe.ie/ after the 17th February where they will post the names of any courses that still have places available.
