The programme is designed to facilitate you working at all levels of the profession whether as a childcare worker or as a manager. As a specialist college, we endeavour to support students from the day they join the college to when they leave and beyond. The development of your career and you as a person is central to everything we do at ICHAS.
Qualifications That Do Not Cost the Earth
At ICHAS we have a commitment to affordable and accessible education for all. Course fees at undergraduate level are the same as those of Universities and Institutes of Technology. At undergraduate level, you will pay the exact same fees that a university student pays which is currently €3,000 per annum. Postgraduate level fees are considerably less than those of the Universities or Institutes of Technologies.
The college has adopted a ‘learn and earn’ policy for all its undergraduate programmes. All full-time programmes are completed over 3 consecutive days which allows our students to get employment to support their college fees. We have a payment instalment plan in place that allows students to pay your fees over a period of time at no extra cost.
