The Northern Ireland Education Database is Nothern Ireland’s only fully searchable education database, giving full details of virtually every evening class, adult education course and further learning options, as well as 3rd level courses, postgraduate and Corporate training programmes.

The Database is operated by Learning Northern Ireland and is available via Nicourses.com,  Nightcourses.com, Daycourses.com, Postgrad.ie, Corporatetraining.ie and Learning.ie.

The Database is operated by Learning Northern Ireland as a unique resource for the general public.

The database contains course listings from the following distinct categories of  Northern Irish education:

· Evening Classes
· 3rd Level Education
· Postgraduate programmes
· Corporate Training

The database contains hundreds of courses run by Universities, Colleges of Education, State/Other colleges, and Private colleges and other course and training providers around the country. The Northern Ireland Education Database was set up by Learning Northern Ireland in 2007 and is the only resource of its type in Northern Ireland.
 
Course Information
Within each of these categories, information is divided into (i) College Data and (ii) Course Data. Each of these distinct areas are developed as follows within the database:

College – Name, Address, County, Country, Telephone number, Fax number, Email address, Website and Organisation type (E.g. University, Institute, Private College etc)
Course – Name, Category (within the database), General description, Course Type (eg Evening Classes, Postgraduate etc), Course code, Course price, Course duration, Course times, Entry requirements, Career path, Course location, Course contact and Course certification.
 
Data Integrity
All course listings are checked by Learning Northern Ireland prior to upload into The Northern Ireland Education Database.

Course providers can log into The Database using the ‘Course Providers’ Interface – this gives each provider full access to the information stored about them and enables them to add/amend/delete any of their contact or course information.

Learning Northern Ireland fully observers the Data Protection Act and does not allow any third party companies access to the information contained in The Education Database, outside the normal rules of search afforded by the Database on the Learning Northern Ireland websites.
