The V.T.O.S. centre in Castlerea is situated in the former vocational school building thus continuing the Roscommon V.E.C.
 tradition of involvement in education in the town.  This building is also the venue for Autumn and Spring night classes 
and there are ongoing basic literacy and English for foreigners classes under the 
guidance of the Adult Basic Education Coordinator.

 

V.T.O.S. started in Castlerea in the year 1993 - 1994.. At the helm in Castlerea we had Mr. P. McGarry until he transferred to Roscommon Vocational School as principal, and whom has since retired. 
Phil O'Brien is now the coordinator here.

As a stand alone centre the students can learn in an independent adult environment.  Courses are accredited by the Further Education and Training Awards Council (F.E.T.A.C.)
