Last Updated: 24 August 2026

Quick Summary

Before paying an Ireland college deposit, confirm whether the course is listed on the ILEP or TrustEd Ireland eligible-programmes list.

Why course verification is important

Students should verify course eligibility before paying a college deposit.

Courses lasting longer than 90 days

Students planning to study in Ireland for longer than 90 days need to consider the applicable immigration and course requirements.

What is the ILEP?

The ILEP is the Irish immigration-related list of eligible programmes used under the applicable study framework.

What is TrustEd Ireland?

TrustEd Ireland is the newer quality-mark framework for eligible international education providers and programmes.

How to check the college and programme

Check the institution and specific programme against the applicable official eligible-programme information before making payment.

Information to verify on the offer letter

Check the college name, course title, study duration and other important details shown on the offer letter.

Warning signs before paying a deposit

Do not make a deposit payment without first checking the course, provider and relevant immigration eligibility.

Refund-policy checks

Students should carefully review the institution’s deposit and refund policy before making payment.

Course eligibility versus visa approval

Being listed as an eligible programme does not guarantee visa approval. Students must also meet academic, financial, immigration and genuine-study requirements.

Documents students can send TVC for checking

Students can share the college name, course details and offer letter with TVC for an initial course eligibility check.
