We are proud to announce a significant change that reflects both our college’s growth and our deeper integration into the evolving landscape of Further Education and Training (FET) in Dublin. Ballyfermot College of Further Education has officially adopted a new legal name: City of Dublin FET College, Ballyfermot Road, Southwest Campus. This name change aligns with the strategic restructuring across all City of Dublin Education and Training Board Further Education and Training Colleges.
All Erasmus+ grant applications and legal agreements from April 1st, 2025, will use the new legal name. This change enhances clarity and legal consistency across European partnerships and project documentation. This name change to City of Dublin FET College, Ballyfermot Road, Southwest Campus reflects our alignment with the national vision for the FET College of the Future, as outlined by SOLAS. It represents a move toward a more integrated, learner-centred FET/ tertiary system that is responsive, inclusive, and future-ready.
