Assessment entry with QQI requires

should pay particular attention to
acquiring accurate information in relation
to mandatory and optional modules of that
award. Further information on awards can

LCFE Cappamore
Our Second campus offers the opportunity
to study a variety of part time day or
evening programmes. Since early 2016 we
have successfully expanded the range of
part time programmes available. We are
committed to continuing that expansion,
giving the learner greater flexibility to
study at times that suit.
Cappamore also boasts ample free and
safe parking on its grounds. It is only a 12
minute drive from Limerick city centre,
and is also closer to areas in East Limerick
and South Tipperary regions. LCFE is
committed to ensuring Cappamore is a
vibrant centre of Further Education and
Training in the East Limerick area.
Quality and
Qualifications Ireland
Quality and Qualifications Ireland was
established on 6 November 2012 under
the Qualifications and Quality Assurance
(Education and Training) Act 2012.
The new Authority was created by an
amalgamation of four bodies that had
both awarding and quality assurance
responsibilities: the Further Education
and Training Awards Council, the Higher
Education and Training Awards Council
(HETAC), the National Qualifications
Authority of Ireland (NQAI) and the Irish
Universities Quality Board (IUQB). The
new Authority assumed all the functions
of the four legacy bodies while also having
responsibility for new or newly-statutory
responsibilities in particular areas.
Change of Address
The college needs to be informed of
any change of address to ensure the
prompt delivery of all correspondence,
examination results, certificates etc.
This can be emailed to: adulted@lcfe.ie.
The college is not responsible for any
delivery delays or non-delivery caused
by a third party.
Refund Policy
Programme Cancellation
For a programme to commence it is
necessary to enrol a minimum number
of participants. If this number is not
reached the programme will be cancelled.
Participants will be notified and a full fee
refund will be processed. Any fees paid
by cash are refunded by cheque and will
require some time to process.
Viable Programmes
All other programmes must remain
viable and be self-financing; therefore,
NO REFUNDS, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, ARE AVAILABLE
ONCE A PROGRAMME COMMENCES.
We regret we cannot entertain any other
requests for refunds. Once a programme
commences participants cannot
defer their place on that programme to
another term. It is the responsibility of the
participants to inform themselves of the
programme commencement date, content,
programme duration, etc.
IMPORTANT
In all cases fees must be paid before
classes commence. Under no
circumstances can learners attend a class
without an official receipt.
Applications received after the
commencement date of a programme will
only be accepted at the sole discretion of
the Adult Education Department.
Programme Deferrals
Unfortunately, we cannot facilitate
applicants who wish to defer a registered
place, either before or after a programme
commences, to another term. See
Refund Policy.
Property
Responsibility cannot be accepted for
the loss or damage to the property of the
learner.
Class Cancellation/
Rescheduling
Due to unforeseen circumstances e.g.
teacher illness; a class may be cancelled
and rescheduled to another date. If
sufficient notification has been received
by the college, a text message will be
issued to all learners registered on
the programme advising them of the
change. A cancelled class will usually
be rescheduled to the week following
the last week of the programme, at the
normal time and day. However where
this is not possible another date will be
selected. On rare occasions it may be
necessary to reschedule a class because
of a bank holiday. Learners must provide
a valid mobile number when they register
to study with LCFE Evening School.
Garda Vetting
LCFE/LCETB is committed to practices
which safeguard the welfare of
learners, young people and vulnerable
adults. LCETB is registered with the
Garda Central Vetting Unit and will be
conducting Garda Vetting on learners
attending programmes where it is
identified that possible interaction with
children and vulnerable adults is a feature
of the programme. Any information
disclosed by the Garda Central Vetting
Unit may be shared with the appropriate
decision making personnel in prospective
work experience organisations. It is the
learner’s responsibility to ensure that all
information is correct, as any omission
will mean a delay in the processing of the
application.
DATA PROTECTION &
CHILD PROTECTION
COMPLIANCE
LCFE / LCETB is committed to acceptable
practices that comply with our obligations
under all relevant data protection
legislation in relation to the personal data
we hold about you. Under the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) we have an
obligation and have made improvements
to how we use store and share the
information we hold about you and we
trust that you are happy that we safeguard
that data. LCFE / LCETB are also Child

people, children and vulnerable adults on
each campus.

Yoga means unity. Bringing into balance

emotion and essence. Yoga promotes
stability, strength, skeletal alignment
and freedom of movement. The practice
resources us in our everyday lives,
helps reduce stress, makes us stronger

What defines contemporary yoga is
the emphasis on following the natural
flow of the body and breath in the spirit
of enquiry and compassion towards
oneself.
