Applying for a further education course can be a first step towards a higher level qualification
Taking a further education business course can be a good way to transition between school and college while gaining independent-learning skills at the same time. File photograph: Getty ImagesPost-Leaving Certificate level business courses are hugely popular with students, either as a route back into the CAO or as a means of starting a career journey in a business environment.
It is clear from the range of business course options available at all levels and subject combinations that there is a wider choice of options in the area of business for prospective students of every level of academic ability than in any other area of study.
If you excel in your business PLC course, you could then consider progressing directly to a similar CAO programme. Some universities such as DCU have specific global business degree programmes, in partnership with universities in other countries — France , Germany , Spain , USA and Canada — where the country in which they will study for a year is selected by the student on their initial CAO application.
The National College of Ireland was originally the College of Industrial Relations, and it continues to offer degrees specialising in the field of human and industrial relations, alongside accounting, finance and business degree programmes. Their business graduates will come to understand all the key functions within businesses such as human resource management.
