MSLETB Celebrates First Graduates of Certificate in Professional Irish at Level 5 in Conjunction with Gaelchultúr
Mayo, Sligo, and Leitrim Education and Training Board (MSLETB), in partnership with Gaelchultúr, proudly celebrate the graduation of the first two classes from the Certificate in Professional Irish at Level 5, in Dublin on Tuesday 23 July. Delivered as part of MSLETB's Skills to Advance initiative, this milestone marks a significant step forward in enhancing professional competencies in the Irish language.
The Certificate in Professional Irish at Level 5 aims to equip professionals with the language skills and confidence required to provide services or carry out business through Irish. The course has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm, evidenced by its oversubscription and the growing waiting list for the next term.
Peter Egan, Director of Further Education and Training, MSLETB, said: ‘We are incredibly proud of our graduates and the positive impact this course is having on their professional lives. This course not only fosters a deeper connection to the Irish language but also empowers individuals to integrate professional proficiency in Irish into their skill set. At MSLETB, we remain committed to supporting the growth of the Irish language in professional settings and look forward to expanding our offerings to meet the high demand.’
