Language Support Scheme 2016

Gaelscoileanna Teo. is running this scheme to support naíonra staff and non-teaching school staff members who wish to improve their Irish or to undertake the TEG examination. The scheme allows staff members to undertake training in Irish at any level and run by any provider. Under the scheme you can apply for support to take the TEG exam, attend night classes, online courses, specialist courses, intensive grammar courses, Irish courses in the Gaeltacht, etc., organised by providers such as:

  • Conradh na Gaeilge
  • Gaelchultúr
  • Gael Linn
  • Glór na nGael
  • Third-level institutes
  • Local Education Centres
  • Oideas Gael
  • Ranganna.com
  • Local schools
  • Teastas Eorpach na Gaeilge (exam only)

This list is intended only as a guide, you may apply for support to attend courses run by other providers. You could also arrange to have a trainer deliver a course tailored to the needs of your naíonra/school or in association with other naíonraí/schools in the area. Applications from more than one stiúrthóir in the naíonra or one member of school staff are welcome. If you have already registered for a course but have not yet attended, you can apply for a refund of fees already paid. You can also make an application based on a course you have not yet registered for but plan to undertake at a later date; simply provide the course details as part of your application. You cannot apply for a refund of fees for a course you have already undertaken.
