Minister for Education and Skills

As Springboard courses are designed to be part time, and to enable participants, depending on their circumstances, to look for employment, or continue to work while engaging in the courses, it is not permitted to undertake a second Springboard+ course in same academic year of Springboard+. It is not anticipated that there will be a review of this policy.
