Griffith College, Ireland’s largest private third level college, has partnered with Engineering Support & Services Limited (ESS) to provide new courses in industrial manufacturing and maintenance skills and industrial electrical safety and systems.
Both programmes are at level 6 on the National Framework of Qualifications and involve work-based learning. Approved by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI), they can be delivered from the college’s campuses, national training venues or on an in-company basis at employers’ sites.
The QQI-accredited Certificate in Industrial Manufacturing and Maintenance Skills (CIMMS) is a one-year part-time programme that provides key knowledge, skills, and competencies in Industrial Manufacturing and Maintenance related subjects.
The QQI-accredited Certificate in Industrial Electrical Safety and Systems (CIESS) is a part-time course, typically delivered in block-release over a six-week period. It is recommended for anyone who works with electrical systems and is designed to give non-electrical personnel the ability to diagnose industrial faults and to carry out repairs/replacement safely.
Kevin O’Sullivan, Head of Campus at Griffith College Limerick, said: “We are delighted to announce this partnership. Griffith College prides itself on providing industry-focused learning. These new courses meet a clear demand from the engineering sector. Learners will benefit from the skills, experience and professionalism of Griffith and ESS’s dedicated academic teams.”
