Why CCT Springboard+ Stands Out
Industry-Aligned & Microsoft-Backed
Courses are co-developed with Microsoft Ireland and their partner network, ensuring up-to-date skills for in-demand sectors like AI, cybersecurity, networking, and data analytics
Flexible & Accessible Learning
Delivered part-time over evenings (typically 5:45–9:45 pm) and select Saturdays, these one-year programmes fit around work and family commitments—ideal for midlife learners balancing life and learning
High-Value Qualification
Graduates earn a QQI-recognised diploma (e.g. Level 7, 60 ECTS) that opens doors to junior-level IT roles or further study at higher NFQ levels
Springboard+ covers 90% of tuition for those in employment or recent graduates, leaving a modest 10% contribution for employed applicants; courses are free for jobseekers or returners.
Dedicated Career & Life Support
CCT extends beyond academics by featuring workshops on job-seeking, personal development, and life coaching tailored for midlife learners.
Why It’s Perfect for Midlife Learners
For those restarting or pivoting careers, CCT’s Springboard+ offerings are a smart match:
Build on your experience. You can leverage real-world skills while adding digital ones.
Time‑friendly structure. Evening/weekend learning allows you to balance commitments.
Affordable expert-led training. High-quality, subsidised education with industry relevance.
Open doors to growth. From junior IT roles to further studies—or simply renewed confidence.
CCT College Dublin turns Springboard+ into an opportunity tailored for midlife changemakers: modern, funded, flexible, and aligned with industry need. If you’re ready to relaunch your career or explore new directions, CCT’s Springboard+ path might be the right first step.
