Donegal ETB policy covering all aspects of your assessments has been UPDATED. Click the link for a handy summary of this policy.
We seek feedback for most courses through mid-term and end-of-term evaluations, and the information gathered can be used to address issues arising throughout the course. It also informs future versions of the course as well as new course development.
In addition, students can raise any concerns or feedback they may have about the course with the course teacher, tutor or instructor, or course coordinator at any time between the formal feedback opportunities.
In addition to our Annual Student Voice Events and regular Governance & Management Forums, we also conduct periodic student surveys to get timely and relevant feedback on current topics impacting the student body.
Future surveys will be sent to students by their teachers and will also be listed here on the FET Student Hub.
The first Donegal ETB FET Service Student Voice Event was introduced in February 2020 to gather feedback from students across the service. This is now an annual event used to inform the self-evaluation, monitoring and review process.

The G&M Structure of Donegal ETB FET Service comprises four main groups. These groups hold regular meetings, which you can find the dates, agenda, and minutes for through the attached calendar.
The overarching group is the Quality Council.

The other three groups have separate areas of focus but all report in to the Quality Council.
Certification Approval Board

Quality Assurance Sub-Committee
Reports into the FET Quality Council and assists it in fulfilling the development, oversight, planning, co-ordination and improvement of quality assurance policies, procedures and processes.
Programme Sub-Committee

The FET Governance & Management (G&M) Student Forum began in 2022 and now takes place several times a year, allowing students to have input and give feedback on Donegal ETB’s programmes, services, governance, and management.
