Due to the success of our past Springboard Programmes, DBS are delighted to announce that in partnership with HEA as part of the Springboard+ 2022/23 initiative, we will again be offering Government funded Springboard+ programmes commencing in September 2022.  These programmes are in the areas of data, digital marketing and software development.

 

The great advantage of these programmes is that they are free or 90% funded by the government and the employer or employee pays the remaining 10%.

The 10% contribution fees vary from €320-€725, depending on the programme of interest and cover all costs such as  Registration, exams and library membership etc. Applications are now open. Due to the limited number of places, early application is recommended.

Please note eligibility rules apply for all applicants.

Please see full list of courses available below:

 

 

 

We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you or your employees in person or online to discuss the benefits of springboard programmes and how they are a very cost effective way of upskilling and transferring skills within your organization.
