The aim of this course is to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of renewable energy systems, their technologies, and their applications in the construction sector.

In this course, learners will explore various renewable energy technologies, including solar, wind, and geothermal systems, and learn how to incorporate them into construction processes to contribute to the construction of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly building.

Renewable energy (RE) has seen rapid development in the last five years worldwide, especially in the area of wind turbines and small scale domestic systems. This Renewable Energy Technology and Control Systems (Year 1) course will enable students to develop an understanding of sustainability issues and renewable energy systems, to examine the role of microprocessor control in industry, and to design and build a control system which requires a number of inputs and outputs. Students will develop knowledge, skills and competence in areas such as solar photovoltaic (PV), solar thermal and domestic wind turbine system specification and control systems used in industry.

This full-time course provides intensive, hands-on training for the food and beverage sector, specifically for roles in bars, restaurants, and hotels. Taught in a real-life hospitality setting, the program focuses on mastering practical skills in barista work, bar service, and restaurant operations. Students also have the opportunity to enhance their professional experience through international work placements via the Erasmus+ program.

The Diploma in Restaurant Management is designed with industry partners (IHF, Restaurant Association and Fáilte Ireland) to provide a professional career route for two specific groups of individuals, staff building a career in the restaurant sector or career changers. The programme also seeks to attract existing staff working in the sector who wish to gain a qualification and begin a management career.

The aim of this programme is to provide learners with the knowledge, practical skills and competence necessary for a career in a modern ever-changing restaurant environment. This will be achieved by developing modern food and beverage skills in various different styles of food service.

This innovative new programme integrates theory with practice. It has been developed to provide a relevant professional qualification for those who wish to embark on a career in Restaurant Operations Management.
