Accumulation of Credits and Certification of
Modules (ACCS)
This is an innovative scheme whereby programmes or
constituent modules of programmes may be offered on a
single-module basis. Module certificates are awarded to
successful participants and credits are accumulated towards a
full award. The programme is especially suitable for adults
and people in industry generally, with limited time available for
attendance and study, but who require access to the
educational system. Pro-rata fees will apply to ACCS learners.
Note: 1st Year ACCS learners must apply through the CAO.
Although the Institute will try to assess all non-standard
applications and offer courses on the basis of information
provided, it reserves the right to call non-standard applicants to
the Institute for an interview. For further information, see
