The Killarney VTOS programme under the auspices of Kerry Education Services gives individuals the opportunity to learn and acquire knowledge in a wide range of interesting subjects including computers (ECDL) in a relaxed and adult environment. Killarney VTOS recognize the importance of learning as a life-long process and makes this possible through its flexible structure and varied course content. Following an up-grading of skills, new opportunities should become available which will enable a participant to either return to the work force or progress to third level or further education.
