FREE ICT Skills Courses

Springboard+ Brochure 2017

Dublin Business School (DBS) in conjunction with Microsoft Ireland, their Partner Network and other Industry Partners under the Government Springboard+ initiative is providing participants the opportunity to reskill or cross skill for FREE under approved and accredited Level 8 ICT conversion awards. Our ICT Skills programmes have been 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 that genuinely satisfy the needs of industry. 

We currently offer a Level 8 Higher Diploma in Science in Computing in the specialist streams of Software Development, IT Infrastructure & Networking and Web & Cloud Technologies, a Higher Diploma in Science in Data Analytics and a Higher Diploma in Science in Fintech*. These programmes are awarded by Quality & Qualifications Ireland (QQI).

The full-time course is 10 months with students typically attending classes Monday – Friday (9.00am-5.00pm). Upon successful completion of the 7 months taught programme, participants will engage in a minimum 3 month work placement with a relevant industry partner. The part-time course is 2 evenings per week over 2 academic years with a few Saturday classes. The part-time courses do not incorporate a work placement programme and students will complete an industry project. Become part of the ICT success story with DBS today!
