The pathways available to students after gaining the qualifications & experience from the programme are vast & not exclusive to the bicycle industry.
The student will gain meaningful & respected engineering qualifications that will be accepted across many industries as a mark of excellence in education.
The bicycle & renewable automotive industry is expanding much quicker than the education sector is at producing professionals to lead it.
The BEA Engineering programmes offer a new wave in Engineering, an area of expertise that has been over looked for many years as a respected Engineering stand alone sector.
Our fully funded Further Education and Training courses are funded by the relevant ETB in that area and co funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union
