This section will give you some background information on our policies and procedures, including our mission statement, annual report, strategic plan, and customer service charter. It also provides you with information on the National Qualification Framework (NFQ) and tells about the awards and qualifications you can receive if you study at ITB.
ITB's policy regarding education is clear – to design and deliver education and training that is relevant and responsive to economic and social needs both locally and nationally.
The following information gives you an idea of how ITB came into being and outlines the academic structure, which is the campus's operation's backbone.
The Regional Technical Colleges (Amendment) Act 1999 and the Institute of Technology Act 2006 was enacted by the Oireachtas in July 1999. This Act puts the Institute of Technology Blanchardstown on the same statutory footing as the twelve other Institutes of Technology already operating under the Regional Technical Colleges Acts 1992 and 1994.
The Institute also operates under the Qualifications (Education and Training) Act, 1999 and the Institutes of Technology Act 2006. ITB has been awarded Delegation of Authority and, as a result, has the authority to award qualifications to those completing courses up to Level 9 of the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ).
About Protection for Learners the requirements of Section 43 of the Qualifications (Education & Training) Act, 1999 do not apply to programs of study offered by the Institute.
Notwithstanding this, it is Institute policy to take all reasonable actions to accommodate students to completion on a course following registration.
A statutory Governing Body appointed by the Minister for Education & Science oversees ITB's policies and business. The Governing Body has members representing ITB, the state, the community, and business and meets regularly to ensure that ITB develops along agreed lines. Students are represented on the Governing Body.
The Academic Council is the Statutory Body appointed by the Governing Body under the Regional Technical Colleges Act 1992 to assist in planning, coordinating, developing, and overseeing ITB's educational work. Among its many roles, it has to protect, maintain, and develop the courses' academic standards and the activities of ITB. The Academic Council advises ITB's Governing Body on all matters relating to the academic standards within ITB. The Academic Council meets regularly to review academic activities. The composition of the Academic Council includes representatives of academics and other staff and students.
ITB has the same structure in management, administrative, academic, and support staff as other Institutes of Technology. The Management team comprises the President, Registrar, Secretary/Financial Controller, Head of Development, Heads of Schools, Heads of Departments, and other Heads of Function. Its role is to ensure that strategic and operational matters are progressed in line with ITB's overall goals.
Deciding on that next step in your education is a vast and exciting challenge. There are many factors, both personal and academic, that have to be taken into account. Many different types of institutions now offer third-level education and training opportunities. Awards are made at different levels such as Higher Certificate, Ordinary Bachelor Degree, Honours Bachelor Degree, and Post-graduate Degree. The variety of courses, institutions, and awards available over such a vast spectrum of subjects makes for some difficult choices. Of course, the considerable advantage offered by this choice is that it means that there is a course out there to suit your needs, aptitudes, and interests! It also makes it possible to continue third-level education without a break to Degree level or go to work after completing a Higher Certificate course. The modular system, which allows for an accumulation of credits, facilitates part-time learning; this means you can adapt your education to suit your circumstances.

ITB will offer a welcoming and supportive environment to students from all educational and social backgrounds and adults wishing to increase or update their technical skills.
