ali Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Why not go back during During December - January (you could even go mid Novemeber if your exams are over), that way you can be back for the start of TAFE which may start back late Feb.

Chook Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Why not go in April, over the Easter holiday break? That way you will get to celebrate your actual birthday with your family here and be 18 when you arrive in Ireland a few weeks later. School/Tafe Easter holiday for 2014 is 12 April - 28 April (approx). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nathan1996 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 i wanted to go for 3-4 weeks so is there no way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 You will need to check with the actual TAFE campus. Many of the courses involve block or day release so perhaps you will be able to cover a any time away. More likely though, is that you find 3 weeks on your old stomping ground is enough to catch up with friends and family. You can only handle so much Guinness!

Guest Nathan1996 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Block or day releases i dont know what they are? yeh home to get some guinness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Block or day releases i dont know what they are? yeh home to get some guinness! This is probably more applicable for an Apprentice really, but chances are you will not be at TAFE full time - ie 7 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Guest Nathan1996 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Whats wrong with not doing full time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Nothing at all Nathan - it's just that a lot of TAFE courses are not full time in respect of full days for 5 days, that's all. Some students are classified as 'full time' and yet are only actually at the TAFE 3 days a weeks. My daughter is currently at university as a full time student studying Business. Some weeks she is only there for a couple of hours on a Tuesday and Thursday. You need to contact the TAFE that you intend to go to and ask them about the situation. They are best placed to answer your question in regards to the holiday scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 You probably need to speak to a TAFE directly as courses will be different and of course it depends on what you will miss and if that may put you behind. May be better to defer until 2nd semester if they allow you to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
