About this location

Mayfield CTC caters for individuals between the ages of 16 and 21. Entry to courses is by interview; no qualifications are necessary. Six core courses are offered at the Centre: Construction, Sport & Recreation, Culinary Arts/Catering, Computer/Business Skills, Multi Skills and Hospitality & Tourism.

The Centre has a 12:1 ratio learners to instructors. Learners are granted a training allowance. The Centre operates with guidance from The Board of Management with representatives from Cetb and the Mayfield community.
Mayfield CTC provides a learner-centered approach to early school leavers in a stimulating and supportive environment. Highly skilled staff help learners develop their full potential; gain internationally recognised qualifications and progress toward further education and employment.
