Education and Training Boards are participating in the Inaugural Statutory Reviews being conducted by QQI. Each ETB is required, as part of this process, to prepare and submit a Profile of the ETB, and a Self-Evaluation Report (SER) Cork ETB has submitted its two documents linked below. These will form the basis of engagement between the ETB and the external panel when they conduct their evaluation visit in June 2021.
