Foreign Language Upskilling Courses in UCC for Primary School Teachers
Fully funded courses, developed in conjunction with PPLI/Languages Connect and the Department of Education and Youth, which aim to offer Primary School teachers in Ireland the chance to upskill in a modern foreign language.
Starting with Spanish, UCC will be running a series of short and dynamic 8-week courses, combining weekly online classes (8 x 2 hours) with two on-campus Saturday workshops (4 hours each, in person).
The levels on offer (subject to numbers) are:
