DIFE Open Days

Drogheda Institute of Further Education are holding an Open Evening on Thursday 17th February from 7.00-9.00pm and an Open Day on Friday 18th February from 9.00am -1.00pm. This is an opportunity for you to speak with programme staff and co-ordinators, ask questions about the courses you are interested in and also to get a feel for the college itself.
Going to the Open Day also allows you to make your face 'known' to the people who may be interviewing you for a place, so be aware of making a good impression!!

College Interviews

For those of you who have applied to Further or Higher Education interviews are held from March - May depending on the college and course you are applying for.

A college interview can be very stressful but, just like a job interview, preparation can take away most of that stress.

Here are some tips on preparing for the college interview, we plan to upload lots more between now and May to help you with getting that college place and we are available by phone, post or on a one-to-one basis to help you as well!

PLC Open Days

Post Leaving Cert (PLC) colleges all around the country are opening their doors to prospective students over the next few weeks. PLCs can offer a 'bridge' between school and third level and are often a good option for adults who are considering returning to education but not sure if they are ready for third level yet.

Qualifax publish all the open day times and dates on their events list which can be viewed here.

DIFE Open Day

Phew!! Now all the pressure is off in relation to CAO applications it's a good time to take a look at other further education options available in County Louth.

As we mentioned before Louth is well serviced educationally with centres for adult education and Post Leaving Cert (PLC) colleges in both Drogheda and Dundalk.

One of those PLCs, Drogheda Institute of Further Education (DIFE) will be holding an open evening tomorrow(Thurs 4th Feb) from 7-9pm and an Open Day on Friday 5th Feb from 9am to 2pm. It is well worthwhile going along if you are considering attending a PLC or even if you feel the Third Level option may not work out for you. PLCs offer a 'bridge' between second and third level and have a wide variety of course choices. More information on DIFE's courses is available at http://www.dife.info/.
