CDCFE Science Lab unveils new Autoclave Machine

Martina Maher cuts ribbon on Tina Machine
The Science Department at CDCFE were delighted to unveil their new Autoclave Machine this week. The autoclave uses steam and high pressure to sterilise equipment, reagents and waste. It is essential kit for the Pre-university Microbiology,  Laboratory Techniques and DCU access courses. The item replaces the outdated and pungent predecessors responsible for the “smell of science” on the ground floor.
The Autoclave has been nicknamed “The Tina Machine” in honour of our office administrator Martina Maher, who was an integral part of the long process in securing the equipment. Martina’s trademark patience endured through two years of logistical issues, resulting in her being given the honor of cutting the ribbon for the Tina Machine’s inaugural run.

National Hairdressing Apprenticeship at CDCFE Capstone Event

Coláiste Dhúlaigh College of Further Education celebrated the first completers of their National Hairdressing Apprenticeship this week at a ceremony hosted by RTE’s Nuala Carey.

Eight graduates of the NHA at CDCFE showcased their final work at the capstone event which was held in Fallon & Byrne, Dublin.

The Apprenticeship graduates have been studying hairdressing for three years, working both in professional hair salons and in CDCFE’s Kilbarrack campus salon “Cabello”. With a mix of on and off the job experience, the apprentices were able to “earn while they learn”.

The apprenticeship graduates now join the ranks of fully qualified hairdressers, recognised both in Ireland and internationally.

The event was attended by mentoring hair salons such as Zeba and Cats Hair Salon, as well as delegates from the City of Dublin ETB and the National Hairdressing Apprenticeship steering group.
