WELCOME
WELCOME
Lifelong learning is really important to us in LIT. It’s something that we do well, and something that is beneficial for learners in a whole range of ways. This handbook may well be one of the first steps you take on your journey in lifelong learning. As well as providing information on our programmes, it also contains contact details for our staff, who can help and advise you on your journey in education. I really would encourage you to use those contacts and reach out to us for help with any queries or questions you may have. Making the decision to join a programme is not always an easy one – but many people have successfully made that decision in the past, and many will do so in the future. Few ever regret it.
In independent benchmark surveys, we consistently perform at the top of the range in terms of our access to lecturers, friendliness and diversity. That’s a good recipe for successful lifelong learning. We understand the issues that face our lifelong learners, and we have a range of supports in place for you every step of the way. Whether you decide to join a CPD programme, a vocational programme or one of our Masters programmes, you are joining a community in LIT. For many of you, the end point of your education journey in LIT is likely to mean improved career prospects, higher earning potential, or a career change. For some of you, it may mean personal development or pursuit of a new interest. No matter what kind of learner you are, LIT can be a place where your journey is enjoyable and worthwhile. I look forward to welcoming you on board.
Prof Vincent Cunnane President, LIT

SPRINGBOARD/ ICT SKILLS
SPRINGBOARD / ICT SKILLS 2017 Springboard+ Springboard+ offers a wide range of part-time and intensive conversion courses in higher education institutes across Ireland from certificate, to degree, to post-graduate level. Most courses are part-time, enabling you to keep social protection supports. A number of courses are full-time one year ICT Skills Conversion courses. Successful applicants for ICT Skills conversion courses who are in receipt of a jobseekers payment can apply for the Back to Education Allowance. All courses lead to qualifications in enterprise sectors which are growing and need skilled personnel, including information and communications technology (ICT); manufacturing; international financial services; and key skills for enterprise to trade internationally. Qualifications are also available in cross-enterprise skills such as innovation, enterprise/entrepreneurship, digital marketing, and project management.
ICT Skills Conversion Programmes In January 2012, in a direct response to specific skills shortages for people with high-level ICT skills, the Department of Education and Skills published a joint Government–Industry ICT Action Plan aimed at building the supply of high-level ICT graduates. One of the key measures in the Plan was the roll-out, from March 2012, of places on intensive NFQ level 8 higher diploma ICT skills conversion programmes by higher education providers in partnership with industry. LIT has been active in this sector having run two Higher Diplomas, in Software Development and Creative Multimedia, since 2013. This year we are happy to announce that we are offering our HDip in Software Development on a Parttime basis also. This part-time option is only available to those who are currently in employment and wish to upskill.
LIT has been successful in securing a number of places across a range of programmes under these funds. Further details are available at the pages below. Applications must be made through www.springboardcourses.ie Springboard Programmes on Offer for 2017-2018 • Certificate in Biopharmaceutical Science Moylish ................................................................................... 22 • Certificate in Medical Laboratory Support Moylish ................................................................................ 70 • BSc (Hons) in Process Engineering Management Moylish ............................................................... 82 • MSc in Quantity Surveying Moylish ................................................................................................................ 88 ICT Skills Conversion Programmes on Offer for 2017-2018 • Higher Diploma in Creative Multimedia Programming Moylish ...................................................... 73 • Higher Diploma in Software Development Moylish ................................................................................ 92
