    A PLC (Further Education) college offers one year courses at Level 5 FETAC. Third Level (IT or University) starts at Level 6 or 7).

    You can do a Level 5 course and either use the qualification to get a job, or, depending on the college you attend, use the qualifications to get a place in Third Level. Each college develops it own links with individual local colleges, so you have to check it out with the college you are thinking of going to.

    PLC or Further Education Colleges offer courses at Level 5 and Level 6. Each level is one year in duration. The advantages are you can sample a subject area for a year to see if you like it. Most courses have work experience so you can also see if you would like a career in this area.

    There are up to 400 points on offer from plc courses so it can serve as a route into Level 6, 7 or 8 courses in third level colleges. The links are nationally available and you can use your FETAC points to apply via the CAO.
