At this time, Teagasc is not accepting applications for a Level 6 Advanced Certificate in Agriculture for Non-Agricultural Level 6 Major Award Holders (Distance Education option) course. Subject to staff and resource availability, Teagasc is scheduled to provide a Level 6 Advanced Certificate in Agriculture for Non-Agricultural Level 6 Major Award Holders (Distance Education option) course in 2012. Applications for this ACA distance education course were accepted from 20 January 2012 until 07 February 2012, when the application period for this course closed.

In 2013, due to migration to the FETAC Common Awards System, the Advanced Certificate in Agriculture is to be replaced by a new award, which may differ in format and duration from the ACA.

It is envisaged that online/distance education options will be available for the new award. At this time, we have no information on the format or scheduling of such courses.
