    Hello all, I got my results back last Wednesday and did not get enough points, so I see a PLC course as my only option. However, I am very confused and need assistance.

    The course that I wanted to do was in Maynooth. The Course code is MH140.
    The stream is CSA - Computer science and software engineering(arts entry).

    I think I have found some linked courses but I need some confirmation. No one I have called has had any useful information.

    In Whitehall College in Dublin, there are two courses that have code CITXX. Pc specialist and Cloud computing. I think these might be links.

    In Dun Laoghaire there is a course with code CELTX. Electronic technology. This might also be a link.

    I want to be absolutely sure before I put in an application.
    Thank you in adavance.

    Wait til the teachers and coordinators are back and ask then.

    Careersportal takes all the hard work out, but ring to double check.

    I've been looking all weekend, but I'm being told so many different things from different places. I rang up someone from Whitehall and they said that they had no links with Maynooth but Qualifax and careersportal are saying that there is. Also, the selections for years on their application forms only go up to 2013. Has the site been updated lately?

    Below is taken straight from Maynooth's website.
    It lists the FETAC awards they recognise for MH140 and other courses.
    make sure any course you undertake will award a FULL FETAC award.

    The formatting went a bit off, but I think you can still read it. Find PLC places that do full awards in any of the areas they mention below.


    These FETAC/BTEC course codes apply for all of the following degrees:
    MH140CSA Computer Science & Software Engineering (Arts entry) or MH140MWD Multimedia Mobile & Web Development​
    MH203CSE Computer Science & Software Engineering (Science entry) or MH203MWD Multimedia Mobile & Web Development​
