    Just wondering about the chances of getting into one of these programs is.

    The governement will pay your fees, you can do most of it online, AND keep your benefits.

    I'd imagine the competition will be fierce.

    I applied for hdip in software development in cit and ucc and got a place on both.
    I thought there would be a load of competition too but the deadline on the cit springboard course was originally the end of June and was then extended to end of August. I can only presume that is because there isn't a great uptake.

    Hi I've been accepted on the postgrad cert in ICT in UCD and am filling in the online registration. Under the fees section, it indicates that there is a payment for student levy to be paid of 158. Is this correct? I thought all these were covered as part of the scheme? Has anyone else registered under this scheme? Thanks so much

    Springboard at IADT Dun Laoghaire do not charge any student levy to Springboard applicants and still have some places remaining on business and programming courses. see www.bluebrick.ie/springboard then under course provider go to IADT Dun Laoghaire

    Not trying to be smart but if you have places available on the courses why don't you change your closing dates?
