Kerry College will hold a live information webinar event tomorrow (Thursday) at 7pm via Zoom and will also be streamed live on the Kerry College YouTube Channel.

The event will feature Kerry College staff Stephen Goulding, Ioseph Nestor, John Herlihy, Elaine O’Connor, Ann Doyle, Joanne Roche and Niamh O’Donovan.

Kerry College offers over 180 full-time courses across its campus locations in Tralee at Monavalley, Clash Road and Denny Street, in Killorglin, and in Listowel.

These courses include: Applied Science, Social Studies, Culinary Arts, Nursing, IT Support, Animation, Music, Computer Game Design, CAD, Engineering, Business, Medical and Office Administration, Healthcare, Pharmacy Sales, Physiotherapy, Outdoor Activity Instructor Training, Sports Nutrition, Pre-Teaching, Pre-Law and Pre-Garda Studies and Pre-PE Teaching amongst others.

New programmes added this year include Cybersecurity and Scuba Diving Instructor.
Places are filling fast across their range of programmes with some courses operating a waiting list. Kerry College offers apprenticeships, courses that link to employment, or courses that open up progression routes to third level.

Kerry College Admissions Officer Niamh O’Donovan is advising school leavers to apply now as there are limited places available on some courses.

“At present, the start date of September 20 remains in place for all of our progression focused courses," she said.

"A number of our courses are already oversubscribed with a wait-list in operation. We have limited spaces in our Business with Marketing/Administration, Medical Administration, Office Administration, Journalism, Computer Design, Sports Nutrition, Early Childhood Care and Education, Healthcare Support and Nursing Studies. Some of these courses will enable you to progress to third level education while others will set you up with job ready skills to move straight into the world of work.”

Kerry College Principal Stephen Goulding is encouraging people to sign up.

“Join us on the 16 at 7pm. Discover the wide variety of courses we offer, get expert advice from our team and hear what college life is like at Kerry College. Afterwards, participants will have the opportunity to arrange One-to-One Sessions where they can get information, advice and guidance from a member of the Kerry College team.”

The Kerry Education and Training Board (Kerry ETB) has been awarded €2.3 million in funding to purchase the former Pretty Polly site on Upper Park Road, Killarney.

The funding, announced this morning by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, will allow Kerry ETB to develop the site as a new Tourism Sector Training College. The proposed facility will focus on training for the hospitality and tourism industries.
Kerry TD Michael Cahill described the announcement as “a major vote of confidence in Killarney and the wider Kerry tourism industry.”
“This is immense news for the town,” said Deputy Cahill. “It will mark Killarney out officially as the tourism capital of Ireland by providing a Hospitality Sector Training College right in the heart of the county.”
Deputy Cahill said he had been advocating for such a development since entering the Dáil, adding that the investment “will be a gamechanger for the hospitality sector in Killarney and Kerry.”
He also recalled the former CERT training centre that operated at the Torc Great Southern Hotel in the 1970s, noting that this new project would revive that legacy for a new generation of tourism professionals.
The Pretty Polly site, vacant for many years, will now be transformed into a key educational and economic hub for the region once the project proceeds.
