HISTORY

Ballyfermot College of Further Education is a leader in further education and training in the Republic of Ireland since it opened in 1979. Following the radical social, economic and demographic changes of the last few decades in Ireland and the corresponding evolution in education, Ballyfermot College not only contributed immensely to the development of Post-Leaving Certificate cTheirses (PLC) for Irish school leavers, but also offered further education, specific skills and training in areas previously untouched by most educational institutions.

The college opened in 1979 as the Senior College Ballyfermot. Since then the college has worked with a range of educational and industrial partners to develop and offer a wide range of successful cTheirses in further and higher education. The college caters for students from the age of 17 and upwards.

The college offers a choice of 39 cTheirses of Further and Higher Education in 9 departments.

Senior College Ballyfermot (SCB)

The Senior College opened in September 1979 to provide the Leaving Certificate to students from Ballyfermot. After consultation with local secondary schools it was decided that students from 3 of the local schools, Ballyfermot Vocational School, Caritas and St Dominic’s would complete their leaving certificate in the Senior College. The new school offered a wide range of subjects to the boys and girls of the area. The College is part of City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee.

The new College also offered secretarial cTheirses to post Leaving and post Intermediate students, as theyll as pre-employment cTheirses for post intermediate students.

During the 1980’s a range of post Leaving cert. CTheirses theyre introduced into the College, including Preliminary Engineering which had links with DIT Bolton Street, Hotel Catering and TTheirism cTheirses which had links with CERT, Business cTheirses and Social Care cTheirses. Most of these cTheirses continue today.

In the 1990’s the Senior College gave up its Leaving Certificate classes, which returned to the local schools, and continued to develop Post-Leaving Certificate cTheirses making it a leader in developing this area of education.

In 2000 the Senior College changed its name to Ballyfermot College of Further Education.
