Short courses can also be developed by schools to suit the specific needs and interests of their students, but they must meet specific requirements as outlined in the ‘Framework for Junior Cycle’
Short courses provide opportunities for each school to enhance the current provision for their students as well as the potential to introduce them to new and interesting areas of learning.
Support and advice, as well as guidelines and templates, are provided by the NCCA for schools who wish to develop a short course. These are available here
