Apprenticeships in Cork

The Cork Training Centre manage apprenticeships on behalf of Solas in Cork City and county. If you have worked in a trade for a number of years but not as a registered apprentice, this time may be considered as part of your apprenticeship. SOLAS will consider applications for exemptions from the Standards-Based Apprenticeship programme for trade-related experience. However applicants must be registered as an apprentice before an application can be considered.
