Third Level Education
Advanced Qualifications
A certificate/diploma course was run in Cork Institute of Technology but this was discontinued a number of years ago. However, now NUIG will be starting a similar course in Autumn of 2021, "Diploma in Scientific Studies (Apiculture) - Bees & Beekeeping". This new course is a Level 7 course, distance-learning course, leveraging videos and similar to deliver the material, with occasional classes in Galway. We will update this page with the information as it becomes available.
Another possible education plan is the National Diploma in Beekeeping in the UK. They run a number of short courses to teach all aspects of bees. Ultimately, the NDB is awarded based on their exam which is quite tough.
