Tipperary ETB

Tipperary Education and Training Board (ETB) marked a momentous occasion on Thursday, October 24, at Cahir House Hotel, hosting an awards ceremony that shone a spotlight on the remarkable accomplishments of adult learners in the south Tipperary area.

Gathering over 150 individuals who had successfully completed National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) levels 1, 2, 3 and 5 courses or Cambridge Key English Tests, the morning was filled with an overwhelming sense of pride as each recipient received their well-deserved certificates.

Among the highlights of the event was the poignant reflection shared by adult learner John Donaghy. His speech highlighted how crucial the support from tutors and peers was in his learning journey. John’s tale of determination and success left a lasting impact, showing how education can truly transform lives.

The success of this event owes much to the tireless efforts of the operational staff, whose dedication laid the groundwork for a seamless and memorable ceremony.

Equally deserving of praise are the adult education tutors, whose unwavering commitment and guidance to Tipperary ETB learners throughout the year proved instrumental in their achievements. Tipperary ETB’s Director of Further Education and Training (FET), Colin Cummins, Board Chairperson Cllr Roger Kennedy and Adult Education Officer, Kaye Mullaney, delivered powerful speeches, adding inspiration and unity to the ceremony.

Expressing gratitude to everyone involved in making the awards ceremony a resounding success, this event truly celebrated dedication, perseverance, and success.
