Process Instrumentation & Calibration - Cork

This minor award of 30 ECTS credits is designed to meet the industry skills shortage in the areas of industrial instrumentation and calibration and thus provides an opportunity for companies to sponsor their employees whilst they upskill or allow people to reactivate their career to upskill, reskill and cross-skill from non-related disciplines.

Target learners on this programme will include those who wish to reactivate their careers to upskill and reskill, or cross-skill from non-related disciplines, as well as upskill those already in employment in related industrial sectors. While there will not be a specific qualification requirement, there is an expectation that candidates will have obtained a minimum of junior cert level (NFQ-QQI level 3), and experience in related industrial sectors would be beneficial for the student. Applicants will be assessed individually on a case-by-case basis. What is RPL? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
