A Diploma in Irish Course is run in Carlow in conjunction with the National University of Ireland, Galway. This is a part-time course, with classes one evening a week over two years. The course is based on the common European framework of reference for languages.
The next course will begin in September of 2010 and run until April 2012. Emphasis is placed on all aspects of the language and the course is suitable for anyone with a good standard of Irish who would like to achieve a qualification in the language as a mature student.
In addition to classes once weekly in Carlow (over 10 weeks each term) there are weekend trips to NUI Galway in 1st year and to a Gaeltacht region in 2nd year. Students are also given the opportunity to visit Gaeltacht areas for weekends over the course of the two years if they so wish.
The course aims to provide students with a level of proficiency that will enable them to communicate effectively in Irish. It also aims to develop students’ understanding of the correct use of the language, to give them an insight into Gaelic Culture and learning and to foster a positive attitude towards Irish among the students that will increase their use of Irish in everyday communication.
The course is open to those who have attained a pass grade in Irish in the Honours Level in the Leaving Certificate and/or who satisfy the Academic Director of the course that they have a sufficiently high degree of competence in written and spoken Irish. The next course will begin in September 2010. More information and registration forms are available now from Glór Cheatharlach.
