Cork Education and Training Board (CETB) was formed in 2013 by integrating the Cork City and County Cork VEC’s and in January 2014, what was Fás training in Cork came under the remit of Cork ETB. For the first time, further education and training (FET) became part of a single, coherent, integrated structure. Cork ETB’s FET services (FET CORK) sit alongside our primary and post-primary services in providing high-quality education and training services that are innovative, responsive and inclusive. Through Cork ETB, there is a pathway for every learner.

FET Cork is tasked by SOLAS (An tSeirbhís Oideachais Leanúnaigh Agus Scileanna) to provide high-quality FET programmes responsive to the needs of learners and the requirements of a changed and changing economy. Through the varied and diverse programmes and courses delivered by the colleges and centres that operate under FET Cork, learners are provided with education and training opportunities designed specifically to provide the skills and competencies necessary and required to access the world of work to progress on to further studies. Our courses are recognised and certified by nationally and internationally recognised awarding bodies, with graduates highly valued by employers and direct access links from many courses into Higher education courses in Universities and Institutes of Technology, both in Ireland and abroad. Learners engaging with FET Cork programmes reflect the fullness of Irish society in terms of age, experience, gender, ethnicity, and so much more. Participation in a FET Cork programme is designed to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding of the individual in an environment that is supportive and encouraging, where differences and diversity are recognised and respected. School leavers, mature learners, learners with a disability and learners who have come to Ireland to make it their home are welcomed, supported and encouraged to participate and engage with our programmes.
