About Next Step

training and employment potential
from this major development in Dublin’s north inner city.
The course will be delivered in an
inclusive and adult-friendly way
through a variety of teaching methods and everyone will be encouraged to participate.

FETAC certification in a small number of modules mostly at Level

the course but will be at a level to
suit those who need to brush up on
the basics
