10% of places at IADT are reserved every single year for students transitioning from FETAC courses. For details of QQI / FETAC courses please refer to FETAC / QQI on 01 9058100 or www.qqi.ie. Applications from QQI / FETAC award holders are made through the CAO and all relevant closing dates and conditions apply. If you have any full QQI /FETAC level 5 or level 6 award, you are eligible to apply for a place on our Ordinary Degree (level 7 award) course or on any of our Honours Degree (level 8 award) courses. Applicants for level 8 awards must have a minimum of three distinctions to be eligible. For full details please see here.
