ITT Dublin works closely with employers to design and deliver training that suits their needs. ITT Dublin provides workbased education and training programmes that build on the knowledge, skills and competencies of those currently in the workplace. The training approach adopted focuses on ‘fitness for purpose' courses and modules to:

• Enable access by supporting and accrediting the building of individual learning portfolios
• Identify individual training needs
• - Facilitate the identification of individual goals for upskilling
• - Facilitate the development of individual personal training plans to achieve goals identified
• Provide choice and flexibility in terms of content and teaching and learning opportunities tomeet identified needs. Allows a blend of modules across subject areas, for example, technical/ business
• Award recognised accreditation. The new National Framework of Qualifications gives ITT Dublin flexibility to build accredited qualifications in small steps by using individual module accreditation, and developing Minor, Supplemental or Special Purpose awards that accredit different-sized blocks of learning.
