An excellent crowd attended the annual Tipperary FET College Open Day event at the Main Guard in Clonmel on Friday, 14 March.
Tipperary FET College is the new name for Tipperary ETB’s Further Education and Training provision across the county, with local campuses at The Mall, Kickham Barracks, Dillon Street, and Prior Park in Clonmel.

Tipperary FET College would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for this event.
The organisers say it was fantastic to see such a great turnout, with over 300 visitors taking the time to learn more about the courses and opportunities available at Tipperary FET College in Clonmel and elsewhere in the county.
The event provided an excellent opportunity for students and members of the general public to chat with the dedicated teachers about the wide range of courses on offer, as well as the progression opportunities available within Further Education and beyond.
They wish to offer a special thank you to the students from Gaelcholáiste Cheitinn, Raheen College, CBS High School Clonmel, Presentation Clonmel, National Learning Network, and Clonmel CTC for attending and engaging with the teachers.
A standout interview on the day was done with former student Linda Byrne, who returned to Tipperary FET College in Clonmel as a mature student.
Linda progressed from a part-time course to a full-time QQI Level 5 and 6 qualification, and is now pursuing a third-level degree at SETU.
Her inspiring journey showcases the incredible opportunities available through Further Education.
For those who may have missed this event or would like to explore our facilities further, Tipperary ETB has announced another Open Day at their Kickham Barracks campus on Thursday, April 10, from 10am to 1pm.
This will be a great chance to see the learning environment firsthand, meet the teachers, and discuss the best course options to suit your aspirations.
Additionally, they will be hosting another information session at a later date for students, parents, and the general public, focusing on apprenticeships, FET courses, and progression opportunities.
