SCG/OCG Courses
OCG and SCG are courses for school teachers in the Republic of Ireland who have qualified abroad. The schemes allow teachers to learn Irish while working. One of the requirements in both schemes is that candidates attend Irish courses at recognized providers in the Gaeltacht. Oideas Gael is a recognized provider for this.
We provide specialized preparatory courses for the SCG/OCG exams also.
Please note: We are working on our 2025 course programme. Individual course pages will be updated and may be amended in the coming weeks. However, all published course dates for 2025 are confirmed to go ahead.
