Revision as of 09:40, 18 November 2008 by 87.33.2.6 (talk) (→Awards)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Garda Síochána College (or Garda College) located at McCann Barracks, Templemore, County Tipperary, Ireland is the place at which members of An Garda Síochána (Irish police) receive formal education and training before commencing their duties as members of the force. The college has been located in Templemore since 1964, previously sited in Phoenix Park, Dublin. There are two main courses available, both conferred by the Higher Education and Training Awards Council:
- National Diploma (in Police Studies): for fresh recruits. The entry requirements are mainly age, character, citizenship, education and health based, competitions for entry are advertised periodically, usually annually and are competitive.
- Bachelor of Arts (in Police Management): for senior officers. The entry requirement is to be a senior manager at superintendent or officer grade. The course's main function is to serve those members with additional skills and training. This is currently being carried out in a hotel in Nenagh, County Tipperary due to more space being needed for the training of new recruits.
In addition, candidates with other qualifications, particularly technical, may be considered for specific positions where a technical skill set is a prerequisite. This is usually for computer, finance and fraud based branches and investigations.
