Cork College of FET runs six campuses — most students only ever look at one prospectus.
A Holland Code interest profile matched against over 1,870 PLC courses nationwide — including the ones across Cork College of FET's six campuses and the specialist provision at Coláiste Stiofáin Naofa and Cork College of Commerce.
PLC courses rarely get the same structured attention the CAO does
Cork's further-education options are genuinely wide: Cork College of FET alone spans six named campuses — Tramore Road, Morrison's Island, Douglas Street, Mallow, Kinsale and Bishopstown — on top of long-established specialist colleges like Cork College of Commerce and Coláiste Stiofáin Naofa.
The PLC Course Match Test treats the further-education route with the same structure as everything else: a proper interest profile, scored against a genuinely national database, so the shortlist you get back reflects fit rather than whatever course happened to be in a leaflet.
Three steps to your PLC shortlist
Build your interest profile

“Choosing a college course can be quite overwhelming, especially when there are so many options. I found the CourseCompass results helpful because they gave my son a clearer direction without making the decision for him. It was useful having something personalised to work from.”
“I honestly wasn't sure what I wanted to do after the Leaving Cert, so I gave CourseCompass a go. The recommendations were actually a lot more specific than I expected and gave me a few courses I hadn't really considered before. It was useful having everything explained rather than just getting a list of courses.”
“I had a rough idea of the areas I was interested in but had no idea which actual courses suited me. CourseCompass helped connect the different things I was interested in with real courses. I came away with a much clearer idea of what I should be looking into.”
