LMETB Community Education Service supports new and existing community groups and organisations to establish community- based education programmes.
It operates across two counties: Louth and Meath
The Service prioritises individuals and groups who experience educational/social disadvantage or social exclusion. Programmes are offered on a part-time basis in non-formal, community-based settings and are intended to offer personal development and skills development for group members.
The group itself has an important role in deciding the subject area of any course. The type of course offered depends on the needs and abilities of the group LMETB Community Education Service can assist groups in assessing their needs and provide an LMETB tutor to deliver a programme with the group. Courses may be QQI accredited or non-accredited. Applications for tuition hours are invited two times annually.
