The following are resources that you may find useful when delivering modules leading to a range of QQI components.

Since Autumn 2015 FESS has engaged the services of experienced teachers and tutors to develop suggested resource lists for a range of modules leading to QQI components at levels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

These lists may be of interest to teachers teaching a module for the first time or teachers looking for new ideas.  It is hoped to continue to upload more resource lists as they become available.

In 2021, QQI validated Early Learning and Care programmes at NFQ levels 5 and 6, for use by the ETB sector in Ireland. Resources that may be useful to those delivering the programme leading to the NFQ level 5 Early Learning and Care award can be accessed here.

For those working in an ETB, you may find additional resources through the ETBI FET Digital Library. This library is intended to provide access to digital resources that support teaching and learning practices and to enhance the educational experience for learners. It offers resources for supporting learning as well as providing a support tool for teachers, trainers, and instructors. It includes sections on traditional academic library topics such as referencing and plagiarism as well more “core” areas such a health & wellbeing and study skills. There is also a resource section which links to free electronic resources that may be useful to FET learners.

Please note: 
On occasion, it may be the case that a resource has been removed/moved online since the resource list was developed. In this case the link contained in the resource list will no longer work.

If you find a broken link, please e-mail resourcelist@fess.ie, indicating the relevant component title and code and the name of the resource for which the link is not working.
FESS will endeavour to find the new link to the relevant resource and update the resource list. 
Where it is not possible to find a new link, FESS will remove reference to this resource from the list.

In the meantime, you may also find it useful to search online for the relevant resource using the title, and in doing that you may find the new link yourself.
