    Anyone else apply for this? Applications are due on Friday. Got mine sent today after a bit of running round getting everything together.
    I just hope that I get called for an interview now.

    Not myself but know someone that did.
    Supposed to be a lot of competition for places.

    Let us know how you get on.

    Did you apply to the one in Dublin or Limerick?

    I applied for Limerick. I heard its 1 in 8 that apply actually get accepted so the odds are stacked against me. I've applied to England too.

    As you know Fin I've applied to. To the UK but not to Ireland, starting in February doesn't suit me and the fact the UK course is only 9 months compared to 18 here suits me better to. Would have applied and deferred if I got it but you ain't allowed :(

    First choice Edinburgh, 2nd choice Liverpool, might see you there!

    Never knew you could do it in England.
    Does that qualify you as a primary school teacher here?

    As far as I know, if you qualify as a teacher in the UK, or elsewhere in the EU, you have to complete and pass an Irish language course before you can be anything other than a substitute teacher here.

    You have to come back and do an Irish exam here - its supposed to be tough to pass. The good thing about doing the PGCE in England is you get a bursary of close to £7k from the government.
