City College Dublin is a provider of QQI validated programmes that, on successful completion, will lead to QQI awards at levels 5, 6, 7 and 8 on the Irish National Framework of Qualifications.
All City College Dublin programmes leading to QQI awards are career-based and updated each year in line with rapid changes and technological advances within the industry.
Students may further their third-level education or enter employment in the areas of their chosen subject field all over the world upon completion of any of these programmes leading to globally recognised awards.
