The full time, two-year Higher Certificate in Digital and Business Skills Level 6 {DABS Higher Certificate (HC)} in Cathal Brugha FET combines classroom-based learning with work-based learning and runs continuously for 24 months (including work placements). Learners who successfully complete the DABS HC programme can progress directly to year three and four of the DABS BA (Hons) degree programme provided by NCI without going through the CAO.
Eligible participants will be paid a training allowance throughout their time on this programme. Participants on this programme will be joint City of Dublin ETB and NCI learners and will have full access to the supports available in both institutes (library, learner supports etc.). Industry guidance is integrated into the curriculum, offering insights and opportunities for real-world applications, preparing participants for future career paths.
Together, these scaffolded elements create a nurturing and empowering environment where these learners can thrive academically and professionally.
