The application process will differ depending on the NFQ level of the programme you are applying for. Please see the different application processes below:

Level 7 programmes (except the Professional Certificate/Diploma in Compliance) do not require an application process as the entry requirements for working in financial services is equivalent to applying to a level 7 programme. You can proceed directly to the IOB store in IOB learn or through the relevant programme page to register online for their chosen module(s).

The majority of IoB level 8 and 9 programmes have an online application process which can be accessed from the programme specific pages in the 'Learn' section on www.iob.ie. Once students have been approved for entry onto their programme they will then be prompted to register online for their chosen module(s). Applications can take 5-10 working days to be reviewed.

A registration form may be needed for a small number of our programmes. If this is the case, it will be noted on the specific programme webpage. For example, a registration form will need to be completed if you are applying for an IFS Skillnet funded programme and needs to be returned by email to [email protected].
