The Open College was founded to offer FETAC courses to the general public by Distance Learning, eLearning & Attendance Learning and to provide these courses at affordable prices. We are recognised as Ireland’s Leading dedicated provider of FETAC award Courses.

Who are we?

The Open College is an independent private college with many hundreds of students and over 40 staff providing over 60 FETAC Levels 5 & 6 Award courses.  Established in 2004 and FETAC Accredited in 2008 The Open College is a social entrepreneurial organisation with a proud record of innovation in education which has in just over three years become Ireland’s largest dedicated provider of FETAC approved courses.

This has happened because we offer our courses at the best value possible across the whole of Ireland. We are also extremely proud of the fact that we believe we are the first private organisation to offer educational and training courses to the public on a not for profit basis

The Open College are also delighted to announce that from the 1st of September 2011 all student fees paid are now fully bonded and protected for courses of over 3 months duration. Our Students can now be assured that they are fully protected and covered in any eventuality in these uncertain economic times.
