Carnew Further Education and Training Centre recently relocated
to new premises on Aughrim Road, Carnew.
The new Centre has made a huge difference to staff and learners alike,
and will allow for the development and promotion of KWETB’s Further
Education & Training service in South-Wicklow. It comprises a designated
computer room, large classrooms, a canteen, office, toilet facilities
and ample parking for staff and students.

“The new Centre provides us with an excellent learning environment. The computer room is great and I think that it has made it much easier to learn because we all have our own workspace.” C. D.
Since 2012, Carnew Adult Learning Centre, now Carnew Further Education & Training Centre has been facilitating learners from South-Wicklow under the Back to Education Initiative Programme (B.T.E.I.) in pursuing the FETAC/Q.Q.I. Level 5 award in Healthcare Support. During that time, approximately fifty learners have achieved accreditation/full awards on this course. The B.T.E.I. programme has enabled participants to return to education and gain employment in homecare, nursing homes and general hospitals as Healthcare Support Workers.
