We also run surveys from time to time to hear what students think about important topics. These surveys are part of our efforts to understand and support students better. Teachers will send out future surveys, and they’ll also be available on the FET Student Hub.
Every year, we hold Student Voice Events where students can share their views directly with staff and decision-makers. These events are a chance to speak up, be heard, and help shape the future of education at Donegal ETB.
At Donegal ETB, we believe students should have a say in their learning. That’s why we ask for feedback during the middle and end of most courses. This helps us:
Fix problems early
Improve the course for future students
Create better new courses
You don’t have to wait for a survey—if you have ideas or concerns, you can talk to your teacher, tutor, instructor, or course coordinator anytime.
When students share their thoughts, it helps:
Make learning more enjoyable and effective
Build stronger relationships between students and staff
Create a more supportive and respectful learning environment
Make real changes that benefit everyone
The first Student Voice Event for Donegal ETB’s FET Service was held in February 2020. It was created to hear directly from students and gather feedback about their learning.
This event now happens every year and helps us check how things are going and make improvements.
If you’d like to take part in future events, you can sign up through your teacher or clicking on the Register button below.
Donegal ETB’s FET Service has a structure made up of four main groups. These groups meet regularly to help plan, improve, and manage courses and services. You can find meeting dates, agendas, and notes on the FET calendar.
1. Quality Council
This is the main group. It looks after planning, quality, and improvements across all FET programmes.
2. Certification Approval Board
This group helps the Quality Council by checking and approving student results.
3. Quality Assurance Sub-Committee
This group helps make sure everything is done properly and fairly. It works on rules, policies, and ways to improve quality.
4. Programme Sub-Committee
This group helps approve new courses and programmes.
The Student G&M Forum started in 2022. It happens a few times each year and gives students a chance to share their thoughts and ideas about Donegal ETB’s courses, services, and how things are run.
This helps us make better decisions and improve how we support students.
If you’d like to be part of the next Student G&M Forum, you can sign up through your teacher or this form.
