ICT Skills Funded Courses

Please note applications for April 2012 have now closed.

DBS in conjunction with the Higher Education Authority, Microsoft Ireland, it's partner network and other industry companies under the Government ‘ICT Skills Programme’ initiative is providing graduates with the opportunity to reskill & cross skill for FREE under a range of approved and accredited Postgraduate conversion courses identified as providing specialised ICT training that will offer graduates a realistic prospect of a graduate level entry into the ICT sector and produce graduates which genuinely satisfy the needs of industry.

The courses are intentionally intensive in nature, with teaching and laboratory activities timetabled between 9.00am and 5.30pm five days per week to reflect the working week. The courses contain a deliberate mix of professional certification in relevant industry skills, personal development and academic content. The learner will spend a significant portion of each day in the laboratory environment. There are three distinct elements to the course, comprising two taught academic semesters and a 3-6 month period of placement/internship.

Courses Available
