Dublin Business School (DBS) in conjunction with Microsoft Ireland, their Partner Network and other Industry Partners under the Government Springboard initiative is providing participants the opportunity to reskill or cross skill for FREE under an approved and accredited Level 8 conversion award for a Higher Diploma in Science in Computing.

The initiative launched on the 15th June 2016 by Minister for Education & Skills Michael Bruton T.D announced the scheme to provide re-training opportunities for the unemployed and employed as part of a further roll out of the Springboard initiative.

All courses are supported by the HEA and Department of Education and Skills which means the tuition fees normally associated with such programmes are waived.

With 44,500 new jobs forecasted to arise in the ICT sector by 2018 it has become a real success story in Ireland.

“The Higher Diploma in Science in Computing is an excellent industry supported course which has helped me to develop a wide range of highly desirable IT skills. While the workload on the course is highly intensive the opportunities and skills gained from its completion are highly recommended and offer the student the maximum possibility of employment on its completion.
