Transitioning pathways for Further Education and Training to Higher Education.
About us
The National Tertiary Office was established with the goal of creating a more unified tertiary education system and is part of a wider reform agenda aimed at ensuring that Ireland's further and higher education system is well-equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The creation of the National Tertiary Office was a significant development in Ireland's further and higher education landscape and plays an important role in shaping the future of the country's tertiary education system. The National Tertiary Office is responsible for coordinating and supporting the development of policy in relation to further and higher education progression pathways for students. Collaborations between Higher Education Institutions and Education and Training Boards will see students commence their third level experience in further education and complete it in a partner higher education institution. The National Tertiary Office is jointly managed by the HEA and SOLAS. Dr. Fiona Maloney has been appointed as the Director of the National Tertiary Office. Her role will involve leading the development of the office's strategic plan and overseeing its implementation.

Not sure if a tertiary degree is the right route for you? Éanna Healy, has some advice! “You should go for it! It’s so much more welcoming than going to university straight away… with the tertiary course, they ease you into it and it’s a lot nicer.” Currently studying Animation, Visual Effects & Motion Design at Kerry Education and Training Board and Munster Technological University, Éanna has always wanted to work in animation but felt that the CAO system would limit his options - the tertiary pathway was the perfect opportunity for him! To apply for this course or others, visit nto.ie! #NowThinkOpportunity

Meet tertiary student, Che Healy. Che studies Animation, Visual Effects & Motion Design through Kerry Education and Training Board and Munster Technological University.

With the option of no fees for the first 2 years of the exact same degree, he said it was a no-brainer to choose the tertiary pathway!
