What is the Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme?
The Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme, which is run by the Department of Education and Skills, is operated through the VECs. Sometimes courses can take as long as two years. They can lead to qualifications such as Junior Certificate, Leaving Certificate and Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC) certificates. The main objectives of the scheme are: to give unemployed people education and training opportunities that will help them find a job, and to prepare people to go to paid employment or to further educational opportunities leading to paid employment. VTOS courses are free; books and materials may be provided free of charge. Some VECs run sample courses to help you decide on the most appropriate VTOS course to meet your needs. Contact your local VEC for more information.
For more information contact your local centre VTOS Centres.
