progressive college - sna, healthcare, childcare and montessori courses ireland
Progressive College is known for one thing above all else – its outstanding
tradition of excellence in providing education and training of the highest
quality. This tradition goes back nearly 35 years to March 1986 when the college
was founded by a team of young Teaching Sisters formerly of Our Lady’s
Children’s Hospital at Crumlin in Dublin, Ireland’s premier children’s hospital.
As Progressive College grew, the original team members were joined by more
former Teaching Sisters and together the expanded group pioneered the
development of new courses in childcare, special needs education, and
healthcare. These courses were permeated by the ‘Crumlin Culture’ of focussing
totally on the needs and well-being of the child, and over succeeding decades
Progressive’s child-related courses have been widely imitated by other
institutions throughout the country. The College has continued to expand and
offer an ever-growing range of new courses while always ensuring that the
tradition of quality begun in its early years is not just maintained but
continually enhanced. Today Progressive College is part of the City Education
Group and is a leading provider of QQI validated major award programmes in
Childcare, Montessori, Healthcare, Special Needs Assistant training and
Business. These awards are aligned on the nationally and internationally
recognised Irish National Framework of Qualifications and so provide ideal
foundations on which to build a successful career. In addition, we also deliver
online, quality, affordable college diploma courses in special areas of study.
