    Is it just the montessori method that you are interested in or is it teaching pre school?

    Hi, I don't know if you've found a course or not, but here is a link to one you can do online: http://www.chevrontraining.ie/montessori-courses/ I've been thinking about doing it too looks good and its FETAC so its as recognised as one of them you would be going to college to do

    Hi. No I didnt but I still plan on doing it. I like the structure of it as I am still working full time & would have to continue working so the online idea is suitable for me...But im not sure how recognised it is :-/

    Kilroys college offer a childcare course by distance learning, its an introductory course and it doesn't offer fetac accreditation but it might be a good starting point if you haven't worked in this area before - http://www.findacourse.ie/childcare-diploma-training-c926.html

    Hi,

    Just to let you know that Kilroy's College will be offering 5 new home study CHILDCARE FETAC level 6 CAS (Common Awards System) components in January 2013 as well as our current introductory childcare and child pyschology diploma courses. Home study courses are typically a little cheaper than classroom based courses because the costs associated with providing the course are less - e.g. no room hire or travel expenses for the tutors. Hope that helps!

    Good luck in your studies.

    Lisa
