In accordance with GNIB rules from the 1st October 2015, if students wish to take a holiday they must have completed one third of the total weeks elapsed (front loading of holidays will not be permitted). If agreed before starting the course a student may take a maximum of three weeks holiday. Minimum break one week from Monday to Friday. Single days are not permitted.

In the event of a serious illness or a close family bereavement special breaks may be arranged. This will be decided on a case by case basis and a student must present documentation to support their request. 

Students who are scholarship recipients must have permission from their consulate/awarding body to take any unscheduled breaks in their course.

The GNIB will be informed about any student who leaves before the end of their course. Students must complete the full 25-week course. If you leave early your attendance will be only for the time you were at school. Students must verify that they are returning to  their homeland.

Learners with a visa require a letter from the college if they plan to leave Ireland for any holidays. This should be requested at least one week in advance of your travels.
