Thinking about upskilling this Autumn? See our Education Loan

Autumn is getting closer and that means it’s time to prepare for a return to daily routines and organised schedules. The start of the new academic year is just around the corner and for many of us, this is a time when we set fresh goals for work and personal life.

Whether you’re looking to advance your career through upskilling, finally pursue that professional certification, or helping your children to take their first steps into third-level education, we believe these milestones shouldn’t be limited by your budget.

Our Education Loan is designed to turn your Autumn plans into reality. It’s available for a wide variety of educational expenses and provides the support you need to invest in both your own and your children’s future with confidence.

Why Consider our Education Loan?

  1. Competitive Interest Rate: First Tech’s Education Loan comes with a competitive rate of just 9% APR*.
  2. Easy Repayment Options that fit your budget, making it easier to manage your finances.
  3. No hidden fees: There are no hidden charges or penalties for paying your loan off early.
  4. Fast Approval Process: Our quick application process means you can start planning ahead without delay.
  5. Loan Protection Insurance at no extra cost.

Next Steps

Investing in education is one of the most significant decisions you can make. If you’d like to learn more about our Education Loan, call us today on 01 642 7900 or visit our website at www.firsttech.ie.

We look forward to helping you achieve your ambitions in Autumn 2026.


*Lending Criteria Terms & Conditions Apply. 

*APR = Annual Percentage Rate. The Representative Example below is based on a typical APR.
Representative Example: A typical Education Loan of €10,000 over a term of 3 years with an interest rate of 6.9% APR. 36 monthly repayments of €307. The cost of credit would be €1,065 and the total amount repayable would be €11,065.

**Warning: If you do not meet the repayments on your loan, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating which may limit your ability to access credit in the future.
