    I posted this over in the Mature and Non-traditional students forum because I didn't realise there was a work/jobs forum. One or all of these courses might be useful to people who already have a degree (in any discipline) and are looking to upskill in some very relevant Business/IT areas.

    The Irish Management Institute (IMI) & Business Information Systems (UCC) are offering FREE short courses under the Springboard initiative launched last week.

    The short courses are as follows:
    • IMI Certified Module in Business Model Innovation
    • IMI Certified Module in Business Intelligence & Decision Support
    • IMI Certified Module in Cloud Computing & Web 2.0

    There are 15 places available on each short course and more detail can be found at:

    http://www.bluebrick.ie/Springboard/SearchResults.aspx?SearchText=&InstitutionIDs=34

    The unique selling points of these short courses are as follows:
    • 3 week block style delivery (1 reading week, 1 teaching week, 1 continuous assessment week)
    • Participants up-skill in an area quickly
    • 100% project based assessment (no end of year examination)
    • Content is specifically developed to appeal to a wider business and management audience from all sectors (not technical computing modules).
    • 10 credits (NFQ – Level 9) and can be combined (in the future) with 2 additional 10 credit modules to lead to a IMI Diploma in Information Systems, which can further be combined with other IMI offerings to lead to a Masters of Business (90 credit – Level 9 NFQ).

    The eligibility criteria for Springboard can be found on the website (www.bluebrick.ie/Springboard/). As the short courses are (NFQ – Level 9) applicants must have a (NFQ - Level 8) qualification (e.g. an honours degree) for a period of at least three years before the commencement date of their chosen Springboard Level 9 short course.

    PM me for more details.
