Cork College of FET, part of Cork ETB’s Further Education and Training Services, has announced that all Level 5 and 6 courses will be offered free of charge for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Denis Leamy, chief executive with Cork ETB said they believe education is a fundamental right, ‘and by eliminating fees, we are taking a significant step towards ensuring that everyone in Munster has the opportunity to learn and grow.'

'This is a transformative step towards a more inclusive and skilled future.'

'It will open doors for many people who might not have been able to afford education otherwise.’
