About us

About us and our training programmes

The primary objective of The Learning Curve Institute is the provision of student-centred, high quality, easily accessible education and training in a range of disciplines to students of different ages and backgrounds.

The Institute is a FETAC registered provider of internationally recognized, FETAC courses across a broad range of subjects.

There is a distinct emphasis on delivering education programs in areas of Ireland that may not benefit from the vast range of educational opportunities that exist within cities. The Learning Curve Institute is committed to creating and developing a wide range of FETAC accredited courses that meet the current needs of the public and to provide these training programs at times where there will be as little disruption to the students life as possible.

In light of current market conditions and the expertise that Seán and Liam hold, The Learning Curve Institute delivers education and training programmes in four distinct faculties or departments; Addiction, Counselling, Languages and Outdoor Education. The Learning Curve Institute also offers workshops and customized corporate training on a regular basis to a diverse clientele.

We look forward to seeing you on one of our programmes soon.
