    Volunteering will give you an insight to the job, but certainly won't get you a job in the school!Panel rules etc have to come first.

    Try the Solas programme (I think that's what it's called) - Garda vetting may take up to 12 weeks.

    Go to Mary I or st pat's and discuss your options. The route you are choosing will be 6 years (4+2). Vs repeat your leaving and get higher Irish 1+4 years in Mary I.

    Add in to the mix the Teaching practice gained as part of each year out in a school with each of the respective courses.

    The education and training course in dcu is 3 years then pme is 2 , it will only take 1 year more than the traditional route . I plan on study irish during my course
