One College In Ireland Offers Six Level 8 Courses For Under 280 Points

Blanchardstown Institute of Technology is offering a number of Level 8 courses that are on average 260 points. A level 8 course offers you more of a qualification in the topic than a level 6 or 7, and many people who do a level 6 or 7 course would go on to then complete another year to gain their level 8.
