Modular Courses
Modular courses are shorter, more focused courses which are offered in a flexible way through blended or online learning to allow people to gain important skills without taking a considerable period away from their work.
Modular courses are accredited and can provide the building blocks to a full qualification if you want. Each module is stand-alone so you can acquire skills and put them into practice immediately in the workplace. The modules can be at any level on the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ), and include ways for non-traditional learners to engage with higher education.
For example, Dublin Business School has a number of funded modular courses in areas such as social care, digital marketing and data analytics; depending on the course these may be 90% or 100% funded by recent government initiatives. For more information see:
