A number of National Foundation Level 8 Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) NMBI accredited postgraduate education programmes are available or, being developed by the ONMSD and National Clinical Programmes.

Some of these programmes are aimed at nurses/midwives who have a number of years work experience in their specific clinical area whilst other programme's are designed for nurses/midwives who have limited or no experience.
Funding
All courses fees for registered students are provided by the ONMSD directly to the relevant colleges.
