Our O’Connell Avenue Campus is located in the heart of Limerick City. We offer an exciting range of part-time courses both at the campus and at various community partner locations across Limerick City.

Day-time classes are offered Monday to Friday and evening classes run on a part-time basis on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Our courses range from uncertified up to QQI Level 6 Major Awards and are aimed at those wishing to return to education, up-skill, or develop new skills.

The campus also offers Youthreach programmes, which provide young people with a flexible and dynamic system of integrated general education, vocational training, and work experience. Information and guidance are available at our Information Hub to support you to make informed choices on education, training, career, and employment. Further information on this service can be found here.
