    Seeing as two of those course start this coming Monday I would ring Griffith College (061-310031 or 061-310043) today or call in to them in person to find out more info. Had a quick look through the Springboard/Bluebrick site and it says if a person has any queries on a course that they should contact the course provider for their area, which is Griffith college in your case.


    Best of luck, and I hope the course helps you to get a full time job in time.
