The Springboard+ initiative is managed by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) on behalf of the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.

The average cost of a Springboard+ in 2020 was €926 per 10 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). This was across all skills areas and NFQ levels. Springboard+ courses typically range from between 10 and 120 ECTS.

The 2021 figures are not yet available.
