Course details

Back to Education Initiative

The Back to Education Initiative (BTEI) provides part-time courses for adults and young people who wish to return to learning. Anyone can take part in these courses but they are aimed primarily at those with little or no formal educational qualifications and there are no fees for anyone on a medical card or their dependents or for anyone with less than upper second level education.

CDVEC colleges and centres delivering BTEI offer a wide range of courses at times which suit the learners. These could be in the mornings, afternoons, evenings or at weekends. All courses offer certification usually at Junior Certificate, Leaving Certificate or FETAC Levels 3, 4 and 5. It is hoped that BTEI will allow those with family, work and other commitments to return to education and training and gain qualifications in their chosen area.

We_They, formally Colaiste Eanna was first opened in 1945 by the City of Dublin VEC (now CDETB) as a vocational school for the boys and girls of We_They. It was the first ever co-educational school of its kind in Ireland. We_They is a dynamic vibrant school situated in the heart of the community in Cabra, Co Dublin. It is 10 minutes from the centre of Dublin with easy access to the M50 and M1.

The school has gone through many transitions since it opened in 1945. The school has greatly expanded its range of courses in the intervening period. It now provides education for second level students and adult students. We recognise the need for ongoing growth and development in order to meet the changing needs of our students. In this era of lifelong learning the college is committed to responding to the needs of the students and the community.
