Adult Education 2010/2011
Welcome to the BCFE 2010/11 Adult Education brochure.
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 a busy and highly successful year for the College particularly in Animation with one of
our graduates winning an Oscar and others being nominated for international awards.
With this in mind, we are delighted to offer a course in Portfolio Preparation for Animation.
Art Portfolio Preparation is as popular following on the successful return of our summer
school in this area. As always, the September Portfolio course is on offer and as a new insert
in the brochure, we are including the information for Summer school in June 2011.We
expect this course to be popular, early enrolment is advised, as class size is restricted to 17.
Following on public demand, we have extended our provision of FETAC courses and
modules. Students have now the flexibility to complete modules separately and take as much
time as they need to build into a full award, this is a model we are using this year for our new
childcare courses.
We are delighted to offer a new NUI Maynooth Certificate in Economics and Finance,
while still continuing to offer the NUIM Certificates in Counselling and Addiction Studies.
Millinery is a course, we are sure will be popular, and this is all a new inclusion to our existing
course provision.
