judybaby · 01-08-2006 11:01pm

I am an external examiner for FETAC and they should be at your centres by now. Make sure that the centres send them out....sometimes people go on holidays and they are left in the office!!!
Good luck all!

Well done to you! You can always appeal anything that you are unhappy about by the way

metaral · 03-08-2006 5:08pm

PowerHouseDan did you use your FETAC award to get into that degree course? When does the CAO send out offers to FETAC applicants? They aren't very clear about it on their website and I'm waiting for offers myself.

PowerHouseDan · 03-08-2006 5:12pm

Yeah I am Skipping 1st year and headin straight into 2nd Degree.I have no Idea about the Cao to be honest, I think you should get your offer soon, I not to sure if you get the offers sep from the Leaving Cert Cao...

flairy-fairy · 08-07-2009 11:59am

i failed two of the components in my award does that mean i have failed the whole award?

Lump · 08-07-2009 1:21pm

Please don't drag up old threads.

Thanks,

John

flairy-fairy · 08-07-2009 4:18pm

Why? isnt the thread just as relevant today? as hundreds of students will have received their fetac results today, i don't see how "dragging up old threads" has anything to do with the matter at hand.

Sea Devils · 10-07-2009 10:56am

Still haven't received mine.

CZ 453 · 10-07-2009 11:36am

Anna88 · 13-07-2009 1:31am

I'd ring your College to get clarification on that front. It's not really related to your question but there was a guy in our course who failed a few of his modules the previous year but still repeated.

CZ 453 · 15-07-2009 3:20pm

I think repeating will depend on your course.I did psychology for a year and i was told repeats are next year.Not that ill need to......ha ha.Ring the course co ordinator.As for results,i didnt get mine yet

Well in theory yes, put it's better to start a new thread.

IMC042 · 17-07-2009 2:46am

Yeah i found out i have to repeat next May if i fail anything! Anyway i dont think i did so hopefully dont have to worry about that! The suspense is killing me!!

Sea Devils · 17-07-2009 9:07am

Well I just recieved mine so I'm assuming a bulk of them have been sent out today.

CZ 453 · 17-07-2009 2:15pm

No id say its at the colleges discretion as to when they send them out.Cork said they would be sending them out next week

Sea Devils · 20-07-2009 2:10pm

chillywilly · 22-07-2009 11:21pm

No your college will provide the central applications office with your results and then they will send u out the offers for whatever course you have applied to do. I'm gonna ring my college again tomorrow to see what the story is with my results!

CZ 453 · 23-07-2009 2:11pm

Hey Judy i got my results today and got six distinctions and one merit i was hoping to get all distinctions im just wondering if i appeal it is there a risk that it could drop down to a pass like in the leaving cert.

Use the new thread please.

ylad · 17-08-2009 11:05pm

I am having problems working out my points. Fetac say to add up your best 8 and cao say add up your best 6. Does anybody know what is right ?

Nelly2 · 18-08-2009 12:16pm

For CAO it's best 6 Leaving Cert subjects! Not too sure bout FETAC but presume it's results of 8 modules, as 8 modules=Cert.

Further Ed. · 27-08-2009 11:31pm

Ok folks just to clear up confusion

1. FETAC results are sent by FETAC to the CAO and the college in which you completed your FETAC award has nothing to do with who gets a place (unless it is a reserved linked course only between your FE college and the Higher Education Institute and that only normally applies for non-FETAC courses) so you are treated like the Leaving Cert applicants ie on your results. FETAC results date varies each year but as soon as FETAC send them out to your FE college, you should get them very quickly. But you dont have to send them to the CAO.

2. There are two systems running that FETAC applicants can use - it depends on the course that you applying to as to what scheme you fall into. The schemes are 1) Higher Education Links Scheme 2) Pilot Scheme

3. FETAC offers for the reserved places via the Higher Education Links Scheme are offered prior to the Leaving Cert students getting their offers. Points for students using this schemes are 3 points for a Distinction, 2 points for a Merit, 1 point for a Pass. This scheme is usually used for Level 7 or 8 degrees in the Universities.

4. Students who are using the pilot scheme offered by FETAC compete against Leaving Cert students for places on the course - this is normally only in the case of Level 6 or 7 courses in the Institutes of Technology.
FETAC applicants can obtain a maximum of 400 points, replacing all their Leaving Cert subjects and points with FETAC Award and points. The points are as follows 50 points for a Distinction, 35 points for a Merit, 20 points for a Pass.
5. If you plan on using your FETAC award to progress via the CAO then note what FETAC says Applicants are advised at all times to confirm linked awards, any additional module requirements, application processes and scoring systems with the Admission Offices of the participating higher education institutions. Check with the University/Institute of Technology that you wish to progress to as to what the FETAC requirements are. Insist that the FE college you are attending gives you the name AND codes for the Award and the modules (don’t go on the names of the courses and modules). Do remember that you must have 8 modules including the mandatory modules to get your full award and that the progression routes via the CAO only applies to people with a full award. Some Universities/Institutes of Technology require you to get certain results in some modules and may also require Maths. DOUBLE CHECK everything. Do remember it is a very popular option and not an automatic route so have plan B in case you don’t progress to the course you hope to get in the University/Institute of Technology.
6. If you are not happy with your FETAC results you can appeal both the process (ie how you were assessed and the procedures followed) and/or the result for a small fee. FETAC have 4 assessment periods in the year - Jan, May, Aug, Nov so you can insist that the FE centre registers you for re-assessment before next May if you wish.
