The Cork College of Further Education and Training (FET) has waived all fees for all of its Level 5 and 6 courses next year to ensure cost is no barrier to further education during a cost-of-living crisis.

The decision is set to benefit thousands of learners who will have a choice of some 200 courses being offered at Cork FET’s seven campuses across the county for the 2025 to 2026 academic year, from podcasting, psychology, gaming design and personal training to beauty therapy, nursing, carpentry and hairdressing.
