How fast can you run in the mud??? Apparently not very fast. The TYs had their first trip to Extreme Adventures in Letterkenny. Put through their paces on the obtacle courses followed by a mud run proved a sticky situation for some. Loads of fun, laughs and teamwork helped to contribute to a fantastic day. Well Done to all the students and of course the teachers and SNAs.

TY Correspondence Courses
TY Correspondence Courses
CTYI offers a number of correspondence courses for students in Transition Year. Students may apply directly to CTYI, and need not have taken an assessment with us. The course begins in January, running through to May, with assignments due every 3-4 weeks. Tutors will correct the assignments and give individual feedback to the students, helping them to gain in knowledge and confidence with their chosen subject. Please note we do not grade these assignments, we provide constructive critiscism which we believe is more beneficial to the student.
