Colleges/I.T's That accept foundation maths?

    Hey all. So yeah I'm in foundation maths for the leaving cert and I was just wondering what colleges accept foundation maths or have courses that don't need ordinary maths. I'm also not doing Irish.
    I know most colleges/I.T's dont accept it but I think Limerick I.T and a few more do have courses but I checked it a bit and still am unsure.
    Ive found the Qualifax website to be a bit unreliable in giving me info on this.

    One thing I really want to do is to go to W.I.T and do Nursing possibly. I know that Waterford College of further education do P.L.C courses and some of them grant you access to W.I.T if you didn't get the original requirement from the Leaving cert, but I was wondering if I do the nursing studies course there will it grant me access to it? Or does the Ordinary maths requirement still apply?

    The thoughts of not being able to go to college is making me anxious, I really struggle in school due to some disabilities.
    Also, I'm not sure if this is the right board but I hope it is.

    Thanks in advance. :)

    Unfortunately, Ordinary Maths is a major requirement in W.I.T., You have to have Ordinary Maths regardless of what FETAC (PLC) course you do. Unless, (and don't hold me to this) you are a mature student, but otherwise you need O level maths. Maybe look into grinds, and really try your hardest at the O level maths, most FETAC courses give you the chance to repeat maths anyway.
    Good luck!

    I think they do accept foundation maths if I do a FETAC PLC course. I emailed WIT asking and this is the response I got

    "The Agreement applies to most of our courses with the exception of Nursing, Architecture, Music.
    If you are applying with Leaving Cert points then we do NOT accept Foundation Maths. However if you are applying with FETAC points, then Foundation Maths is not required.

    Regards,

    :D

    But yeah. Im seriously considering getting grinds for O level maths.
