NCAD, in conjunction with Gaelchultúr, will be offering a one-year part-time Diploma in Teaching through Irish (Art), from the end of January 2012. 

This programme, which is being supported by COGG www.cogg.ie, is aimed at art teachers who are working in Irish-medium and Gaeltacht schools or who wish to do so in the future.

The course is also suitable for primary school teachers who wish to teach art through Irish and art students who have an interest in teaching the subject through Irish on gaining their teaching qualification.

Classroom tuition and e-learning will be combined in the course, giving participants the opportunity to undertake course work at home at times that suit them, without the pressure of having to attend weekly classes. Lectures will take place in NCAD in Dublin on four Saturdays in Semester 1 and on four Saturdays in Semester 2.

Students will also have access to learning materials and interactive lessons on the e-learning website www.ranganna.com
