SaorEd is a free online education platform for people from migrant and refugee backgrounds in Ireland. Courses include English, information technology (IT) and career preparation. Courses are available in English, Arabic, Spanish, and German.

SaorEd is for refugees, international protection applicants and migrants over the age of 18 residing in Ireland who want to access free education. International protection applicants will have access to more courses than other people from refugee and migrant backgrounds.

Courses on SaorEd offer lots of support to students, for example, English courses and job preparation. You can also take online courses to learn new skills for a job and put on your CV. However, we don’t offer career counseling, job or internship placement services. Courses are not currently accredited, but we hope to expand the available courses in the future.

International protection applicants are encouraged to upload their document in order to gain access to further resources.
