Ormonde College of Further Education


Ormonde College of Further Education is located at the heart of medieval Kilkenny.  We offer a range of full-time Further Education (formally Post-Leaving Certificate) courses designed in response to national and local labour market trends and to meet the career interests of students in County Kilkenny and surrounds.  The key to our current success is the quality of the learning environment created by a dedicated academic team.  Our courses offer the opportunity for school leavers and mature applicants to study for a specific qualification that may lead directly to employment or may be used to access third-level and other related courses.
