réimse spreagúil cúrsaí atá ar tairiscint, tá an cháil ar leith

go maith againn. Táimid bródúil go gcuireann ár gcúrsaí
deiseanna iontacha múinteoireachta agus foghlama ar fáil do
na mic léinn go léir.
Creidimid i gcumhacht an nasctha, an chomhoibrithe
agus na cruthaitheachta. Sin an fáth go mbeidh ár
bhFoirgneamh Meán Digiteach nua uathúil (a bheidh á
oscailt in 2020) ar thús cadhnaíochta na nuálaíochta agus
na teicneolaíochta, agus go mbeidh sé ina cheannródaí
san oideachas do na tionscail dhigiteacha atá ag teacht
chun cinn. Tá cáil ar ár gcéimithe a bheith nuálach, eolach
ar chúrsaí teicneolaíochta agus seiftiúil, agus tá siad go
hiomlán ullmhaithe do shaol sna tionscail chruthaitheacha,
chultúrtha agus teicneolaíochta.

siad tairbhe as tacaíocht an tionscail agus comhpháirtithe
cultúrtha, ar nós IBM, Intel agus Áras Nua-Ealaíne na
hÉireann. Tá Scoil Náisiúnta Scannán na hÉireann suite in
IADT, chomh maith – ionad sármhaitheasa na hÉireann don
oideachais agus oiliúint sna scannáin, dearadh don stáitse
