As a temporary measure to support services to maintain staffing capacity over the summer months, the Department of Children, Disability and Equality (DCDE) is on a temporary basis, implementing a Student Fast Track Qualification Recognition process for the assessment of equivalence with the Level 5 minimum qualification requirement.
Eligibility for the Fast Track Process
The Fast Track process is open to students who:
• Are currently enrolled on a Level 6, 7 or 8 programme listed on the DCDE Early Years Recognised Qualifications list; and
• Have successfully completed their first year of study, including the required professional practice placement.
Outcome of the Fast Track Assessment
Students approved through this Fast Track (accelerated) process will be issued with a Letter of Temporary Permission to Practise by DCDE.
This letter will be valid until 01 September 2026 and is recognised by Tusla as meeting the requirements of Section 9(4) of the Child Care Act 1991 (Early Years Services) Regulations 2016.
Responsibilities of the Registered Provider
Where a student is employed under these temporary arrangements, the Registered Provider remains responsible for ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements, including:
• Garda vetting
• Induction training
• Supervision
• Ongoing governance and oversight
Students can access the application form here.
Once completed the application form should be submitted to [email protected]
Alternatively, students can apply for a letter of qualification recognition through the Current Student Application Process. This Letter of Qualification Recognition will remain valid for the duration of the students’ studies. ... See MoreSee Less
