Anyone applying with a fetac level 5 qualification

I have gotten through stage 2 and waiting on my app form also. With regards to education. When they say leaving cert or equivalent. Would Fetac level 5 or Btec leve 6l fall under the "equivalent" bracket?

Best email them 'DePaste', I assume you'll need a LC or equivalent standard, 'A Levels', 'LCA' etc.. . I know other certs are at level 5/6 and same level as LC on educational scale. However they might have an option that as a baseline you need the LC in some shape or form as per the below from handout;

'Each candidate must have obtained at least Grade D (or a pass) in five subjects, including Mathematics and English, from the approved list of subjects in the Department of Education Leaving Certificate Examination or in an examination of at least equivalent standard.'

Or fetac level 5

I’ll email them then and see what they come back with. It would seem silly to base a candidate out on an exam that he or she may have taken 10 years ago. I know I didn’t care about education back then and was only in my mid 20s when I got my act together. Fingers crossed i get a positive response

Really odd that your booklet contains different information than mine for page 9! Mine contains nothing containing 'or'

What is your filename is it 192008010_Final?

Just interested cause me posting that an not having that information looks like I was trying to give out incorrect information. I am now wondering if I have the correct booklet!

Hi,
No, mine is 19208010_Firefighter_DCC_2019

Sorry extra 0 in mine.

I have no idea why they contain different information, sounds like we are both looking at the same filenames.

Yours might be the update version, so happy days, updated!

Anyway, apologies about that incorrect information there.

Application form sent
