Offering an ever-expanding range of further education and training courses to learners from the locality and further afield, its courses include Digital Media & Web Design, Liberal Arts, Computer Software & Games Design, Business & Office Administration and Early Learning & Care and a range of others.

This year, a number of new courses will be offered to students at Monaghan Institute. These include, Stage 1 Advanced Certificate in Early Learning and Care - the new professional standard award for those wishing to work in the early learning and care setting and Biomedical Science with links to PE Teaching - a relevant field currently and in greater demand than some sciences. Graduates of this course may also pursue a career as a PE teacher after completing this award.

Also offered are Food Science and Nutrition - very relevant in the region with many leading food industry companies and Pre-University Education and Teaching and Law and Business - courses ideal for both school leavers and experienced mature learners hoping to progress to degree level studies in education, as well as in law and business.

The college has fully equipped practical rooms, science and IT labs, multi-media laboratories, two hi-spec iMac labs, a hairdressing salon, beauty therapy rooms, a dog grooming parlour and other specialist classrooms, as well as a library, restaurant and dedicated study areas.

The institute also has access to the Garage Theatre on the campus and shared use of a sports hall with a fitness suite.
