Green Cert

Does anyone know where Teagasc are running these 1 day course commencement sessions to comply with the national reserve for starting the course before 31/12/15. They announced about a month ago that they would be running these courses (1 day) around the country in December but I can't come across any of them. Has anyone heard anything about these or was it a bit of spin by Teagasc? Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

Is that the 1 day commencement course where you just do 1 day and come back some time next year and resume the course or is it the 2 night a week one?

Yes 6pm to 10pm. €250 deposit to be paid by 4th dec.
My understanding is course will be one day per month thereafter.

Roscommon Teagasc are starting Dec 8th 10am-12noon to comply with the rules.
The course starts properly in spring '16.

So at this stage anybody that has to do the Green Cert to comply as a young farmer/ national reserve applicant will have to pay the Teagasc €250 course deposit before they find out if they are successful in getting entitlements, makes sense that :rolleyes:

Are they strict in making you attend every month. I see some colleges are offering night courses now like westport, whats the story with them?
