    Hi all,

    has anyone heard about a (short) course in Irish that would entitle a native Irish to be registered with the Teaching Council as an Irish teacher (secondary schools)
    if that makes sense

    Thanks

    No even fluent Irish native speakers need to complete a three year degree in Irish. Sorry . If you have a degree already , your best option is UCD higher diploma in Arts in Irish.

    Hi - I found the Teaching Council helpful when I rang with a similar enquiry not so long ago. They have a list of all the courses that are accredited with them (covering every course in Ireland which they accept) but they have somebody in the office- can't remember their name- who specialises in dealing with enquiries like this (subject registration I think it is called). I suggest you ring them, but also consult that list first- it is on their website I think. I'll try to find you a link now.

    Maybe also look up Oscail subjects in DCU (last year anyway it was possible to do a history add-on, part-time)....

    What Crazyteacher said. If you are serious, you should be contacting the relevant School of Irish immediately to begin in September, even though the closing date for the Part-Time BA office in UCD was in early July. Avoid that office at this stage, and go straight to the School. It will take you two years, and you will do 60 ECTS credits (30 each year; 15 each semester). You can technically do it in 1 year, but it wouldn't be advisable.

    One issue about Teaching Council Registration, there is a number of Degree courses which qualify you as a secondary school teaching in those subjects however a number of Colleges leave the graduate the hassle of going to the council to get their degree sanction e.g. for teaching mathematics
    I have heard some issues with specific science degrees from DCU and UL regarding this.

    I think it should be the colleges who get their degrees validated by the Teaching Council rather than having to force graduates to get their degree sanctioned.their degrees obviously have
