 The College of Progressive Education, formerly
the School of Practical Child Care, and the
School of Health and Social Care, Ireland, has
grown continuously in size and stature since it
was founded in 1986. It is by far the largest
private childcare college in Ireland and, more
importantly, within the profession it is
undoubtedly the most highly regarded.
Accreditation: In August 2003 the College
was accredited by FETAC (the Further Education
and Training Awards Council in Ireland),
allowing the College the opportunity to provide
a wide range of internationally recognised FETAC
courses. The FETAC awards form part of the
National Framework of Qualifications in Ireland.
The
College offers FETAC courses at Level 5 and 6 in
the framework (Certificate and Advanced
Certificate).

Progressive Education encourages international
learners to come and study with us in the
