Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

Officials in my Department have made enquiries on the matter with Kerry ETB.

Kerry ETB has indicated that the individual in question is not currently registered on any Kerry ETB full time or part time course in health care support. I understand that the individual has completed several courses with Kerry ETB leading to component awards which were scheduled by Kerry ETB as stand-alone individual courses. Kerry ETB has scheduled part time courses leading to a component award related to the Healthcare Major Award for which any prospective learner may apply.
