Opportunity for Irish learners to achieve TEG qualifcation
May 20, 2013
The European Certificate in Irish (TEG) and Oideas Gael are coming together to give Irish students the opportunity to get recognition for their work whilst attending Oideas Gael courses this summer.
TEG will offer official certification for language skills obtained while attending Oideas Gael courses. During summer 2013, TEG will be conducting oral exams in Gleann Cholm Cille where learners will have the choice to take these exams while studying with Oideas Gael. The exams will take place on 22 June, 6 July and 20 July.
Since its foundation in 2005, European Certificate in Irish is the first and only certification system for Irish for adults. TEG is aimed at anyone with an interest in learning Irish, and over 2,500 people from Ireland and abroad have taken the exams since their foundation. TEG recognition is very helpful in the working world, is among the entry requirements for Forbairt Naíonraí Teoranta, The Teaching Council, The Fulbright Commission, The Department of Education and Skills; and the Colleges of Education: Marino Institute of Education, St. Patrick’s College of Education, Mary Immaculate College of Education and Hibernia College.
