Deirdre Burns
Certificate in Buildings Archaeology
Sligo
I completed the one-year Historic buildings Conservation certificate course with ATU Sligo in 2024-2025. As I work full-time, the delivery of the course in an online format provided the flexibility required. The scope of subjects covered through this course is broad ranging but was effectively delivered through a suite of excellent lectures and supporting material. I particularly enjoyed the guest lectures in the final module which consolidated much of the learning from the previous modules into practical case studies. The course has increased my understanding of the vulnerabilities of historic buildings and is of direct relevance and benefit to my work as a local authority heritage officer.
