New: Web Design Course

We are currently (February 2010) hoping to offer a FETAC Level 5 Web Design course over fifteen Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30pm

This fifteen week course is aimed at anyone who wishes to set up a website from scratch, particularly with a focus on selling online. The tutor for this course is industry expert Jonathon Lomax who has tutored in London and worked extensively in Ireland as a web designer - see www.format.ie for details of Jonathon's company.

This blend of tutor and industry experience makes this course more attractive than any other web design course taught in the North West.

This course is being offered in partnership with FÁS and will be available free of charge to people who are unemployed. Jobseekers in receipt of Jobseeker's Allowance, Jobseeker's Benefit, Disability Allowance, One Parent Family Allowance. If you are not sure whether you qualify, ring the Centre for advice.
