Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme (VTOS) / Mature Students

Crumlin College of Further Education provides opportunities for adults to return to full-time or part-time education.

Our aim is to provide skills which open up new/interesting career opportunities and increase chances of employment. Mature students are welcome to apply for entry to any of the Courses offered by the College. An Adult Education Guidance Service is available in the College to assist in choosing a suitable course.
Application forms are available from January onwards and mature students may gain exemptions from Course entry requirements based on details of their past experience.

Entry to all Courses is subject to interview. The Crumlin College VTOS Programme allows unemployed adults to return to education without losing their benefits.
To qualify for VTOS, students must be:
  • 21 years of age or over

  • Getting an unemployment payment or signing for 'credits' for at least 6 months

  • others can also qualify if on Disability Allowance, One-Parent Family Payment, Invalidity Pension or are spouses of those receiving unemployment

Further details are available about the VTOS Programme in Crumlin College from Brid Kavanagh, VTOS Co-ordinator.
