Computer Science plays a vital role in almost every business in today’s modern world. The first online and blended Certificates in ICT in UCD allow participants to work with the Programme Director to choose their own software programming modules and design their own certificate focusing on software development training on a part-time, flexible and tailored to their needs mode. The ICT Springboard courses (Springboard, n.d.) have been fully funded from Higher Education Authority (HEA) in Ireland and have been running for the last two years with positive feedback from the participants and successful stories of employment after up-skilling/re-skilling in ICT.
