Due to privacy and data protection recording of live lectures is a decision for the individual tutor (and the students) and they may choose not to record part or all of a lecture to facilitate a fuller contribution from all students.

The QQI Level 6 Higher Certificate  is a part time course and so does NOT Qualify for a student visa.

Yes, you can claim 20% tax relief on the TWO YEAR QQI LEVEL 6 HIGHER CERTIFICATE under the following rules:

The Two Year Part Time SETU Level 6 Higher Certificate Course for tax relief must be two years in duration (if you only intend on completing one year, Revenue do not allow tax relief).

As this is a Part Time Course under Revenue rules, the first €1,500 is a disregarded amount e.g.:

€2,500 (fee per year) minus €1,500 (Revenue disregarded amount) = €1,000

20% of €1,000 = €200 per year of tax relief
