Welcome to the Skill Project
SKILLETB is a consortium of all 16 ETB's, led by the City of Dublin Education and Training Board (CDETB).
The Health Services Executive (HSE) went through a process of identifying the skills that it deemed necessary for its Support Staff and their Supervisors to have. They did this through the SKILL (Securing Knowledge Intra Lifelong Learning) Project. The aim of the SKILL Project is to
educate, develop and train support staff in the health services to the optimum of their abilities in order to enhance their role in the quality of service to patients/clients
The SKILLETB programme was set up to devise and deliver 2 sector-specific, FETAC-certified courses/awards to these health service staff on a national basis. All FETAC qualifications are awarded by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI).
Award: Health Service Skills: This Level 5 programme was devised for Support Staff from a variety of different backgrounds in the HSE. It is being offered as a core of mandatory modules with a number of varying elective modules to meet specific job requirements within the service.
Award: Health Services Supervisory Management Skills: The Supervisors Programme is at FETAC Level 6.
