CCT College Dublin warmly welcomes the publication of our Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) CINNTE Institutional Review Report and extends our sincere appreciation to the expert review panel for their commitment, collegiality, and professionalism throughout the review process. We are deeply grateful for their valuable insights, thoughtful reflections, and comprehensive evaluation. We also wish to thank very much our wonderful colleagues in QQI for their ongoing guidance, support, and expertise throughout this significant process in the College's development.
For CCT College, this report represents an important milestone in our 21-year journey and reflects the progress we have made as an institution committed to excellence. The external quality review process provided a valuable opportunity for meaningful institutional reflection, bringing together learners, staff, and all stakeholders in a shared evaluation of our achievements, strengths, areas for improvement and aspirations. We are particularly encouraged by the many commendations arising from the report recognising our strong culture of student support and accessibility, our collaborative approach, and our enduring commitment to excellence in teaching, learning, and continuous quality enhancement across the College. In line with our own self-evaluation and strategic priorities, the report also identifies a small number of recommendations, which we embrace for further development.
Finally, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our learners, staff team, stakeholders, and the wider College community whose contributions and perspectives shaped this evaluation and gave it depth and meaning. The positive outcomes of this review are testament to professionalism, and shared commitment to CCT's mission and values. Building on this strong foundation, we will continue to draw on the strength of our community as we further advance CCT College's position as one of Ireland's most innovative, agile, responsive, accessible, and student-centred providers of higher education.

The last year has been a very busy and successful one with CCT achieving TrustEd status, receiving authorisation from QQI to use the TrustEd Ireland mark (Higher Education Pathway), a new state accreditation system underpinning Ireland's commitment to quality, care and confidence to international and to all students. We achieved a very positive outcome from the significant QQI Institutional Review process of CINNTE, with a result of six recommendations and nine commendations.
CCT also successfully undertook the new QQI Due Diligence Evaluation review process for private higher ed providers incorporating a detailed review of the business operations, financial health, governance and compliance, along with operational capacity and capability.
