St Tiernan's Community School is part of the National Association of Adult and Community Education Directors (NACED) network. Schools within this network run classes across Ireland.

  4. Students can also enrol at in-school enrolment evenings (see footer for dates). Fees are payable on enrolment and receipts will be issued (your receipt is your admission to the course).
  5. Fees are strictly non-refundable unless the school decides not to run a course, in which case all fees will be refunded by post or credit card.
  6. Cheques should be made payable to St. Tiernan's Community School and should have your bank card number on the back.
  7. Fees can be paid by credit card through our school office or on the night of enrolment.
