Griffith College welcomes applications from Leaving Certificate students, mature students and students who hold FETAC Level 5 Awards. Some FETAC holders may be eligible for advanced entry onto specific related programmes at Griffith College
The College recognises that the Higher Certificate in Business programme may also be attractive to learners who have previously completed relevant undergraduate programmes in business and related disciplines at certificate level. The Faculty, in association with the Admissions Department considers all such applications. Factors considered include, the nature and level of the award, the grade achieved, the overlapping of course content, and the similarity of intellectual experience in terms of knowledge, expertise, practical abilities and the extent and quality of transferable skills.
The granting of exemptions is restricted to ensure that learners are not placed at a disadvantage in later modules with compared to other learners taking the programme. Given the inevitable differences in structure between the Higher Certificate in Business and the learner's original programmes, such learners can expect to revisit certain programme elements with which they are already familiar.
All applications for the accreditation of prior learning (A.P.L.) and prior experiential learning (A.P.E.L.) are logged to support the consideration of subsequent applications from identical programmes. Each application is also available for review by external examiners and verifiers.
