This involves the introduction of a new credit system for modules and significant changes to programme structure and content. Teagasc is currently engaged in 'migrating' (moving) its agriculture, equine, horticulture and forestry and other programmes to the FETAC Common Awards. The details of FETAC courses given on this site refer to programmes strucures and content that existed prior to the FETAC Common Awards.

Details of the revised programmes will be posted on this site on completion of the migration process for each programme.


The FETAC accredited Advanced Certificate in Machinery and Crop Management provides students with the latest technology, information and management skills necessary for a career in tillage farming and industries ancillary to tillage farming.

Teagasc also offers, in conjunction with Limerick Institute of Technology, a Higher Certificate in Technology in Agricultural Mechanisation course. This course provides education and training for students to enable them to understand the core subjects of agricultural mechanisation. This course enables graduates to obtain employment in the machinery retail, machinery operation sector and allied agricultural machinery and manufacturing industries.
