Adult education guidance in west Galway is free and confidential. It is for adults who are thinking about a course, a career change or a return to learning after a long break.
Where appointments are available
Guidance is offered across Oughterard, Moycullen, Clifden and the Connemara area. Appointments can be arranged at a local centre or, where appropriate, by phone or online. The adviser will confirm the venue and time when you book.
What a guidance session covers
- Your interests, experience and current responsibilities.
- Course options and the levels that suit you.
- Entry requirements and application routes.
- Fees, grants and other practical supports.
- Next steps, including further study or work.
What to bring
Bring any certificates or records of previous courses if you have them, but do not worry if you do not. A short description of your work and life experience is often enough to begin. If you need an interpreter or another adjustment, say so when booking.
Confidentiality
Guidance is private. Notes are kept to support the work and are handled under data protection law. Nothing is shared with a course provider without your agreement.
