One of the distinguishing features of this course is its emphasis on developing college-readiness skills. With a focus on academic writing, referencing, study skills, collaboration, presentation skills, and effective time management, students will be well-prepared to excel in a higher education environment.
Key modules include: Concepts in Education & Training, Interpersonal & Group Behaviour, Communications, Peer Mentoring, Work Experience, Psychology, Research & Study Skills and Word Processing.
Keith McClearn, Principal of Portlaoise Institute said “This comprehensive program provides students with a unique opportunity to explore the teaching profession and its methodologies, setting a strong foundation for those considering a career in education.
“As the demand for teachers in soaring, the introduction of this course could help in the training of teachers, we are thrilled to introduce our Pre-University Education and Training course, offering students a valuable opportunity to explore the teaching profession and develop essential skills. Normally students from Portlaoise would have to travel to train as teachers, now they can pursue a career in education on their doorstep.”
