Apprentice Students

What are my Fees?

Currently the fee for Craft Apprentice Students is €1,000 per block.  For the 25/26 Academic Year, the Government has reduced the fee payable by Craft Apprentice Students to €830.

Are books/materials included in the course price?

In general no, however on some programmes, there may be an additional charge applied for materials/licences/toolkits etc.  Your Faculty/School can advise on these.

Lecturers may suggest you purchase books while on the course and this is at the student’s expense. Please note the University has an extensive Library on each campus and students may utilise this service provided that their fees are up-to-date and they have a valid student card.

Payment Options

In order to assist students in paying their fees, the following are the payment options for Apprentice Programmes courses.

  • Option 2: If your employer is paying your fees, there are two options available below:

 

Option A: Request a manual invoice
  • Complete the Declaration of Payment for Fees form to request an invoice for your employer.
  • If your employer provides you with a Purchase Order (PO) number, please include this on the request form
  • If your employer needs confirmation of the fee in order to generate a PO number, please log into Touchnet and go to your account activity for the required term. From there, you can print a statement of charges and payments for the term, which your employer can use to generate a PO number. Once you have the PO number, please complete the request for an invoice above.
  • The invoice will include TU Dublin’s bank details.
  • Your employer can then make a bank transfer directly to the University quoting the invoice number.
  • Once received, the payment will be allocated to your student account.

 

Option B: Add your employer as an authorised user in Touchnet
  • Log in to TouchNet through your student dashboard.
  • On the top menu, click ‘My Profile’ and select ‘Authorised Users’ from the dropdown menu.
  • Add your employer’s email address and choose what level of access they should have.
  • Your employer will then be able to log in and make a credit card payment directly to your Banner account.

Please note: The fee remains the liability of the student until paid. If your employer is not covering 100% of the fee, you can pay the remainder of the bill in Touchnet using the ‘Pay per Line item’ functionality.


Examination Results will be withheld until fees are paid in full.
