Kilkenny Education Centre has a long history as a voluntary body under the name of Kilkenny Teachers' Centre. In September 1997 Kilkenny Education Centre was transformed into a full-time education centre. The Centre is a member of the Association of Education and Teachers' Centres of Ireland (ATECI). The Management Committee and Staff of Kilkenny Education Centre, envisage an open and innovative centre, which inspires and supports teaching and learning in the education community.
