“I’m glad I chose this programme as there is a great variety of both practical and theoretical modules. School placement has been very beneficial as I had the opportunity to apply the knowledge from the lectures to the classroom setting. The lecturers are both encouraging and supportive”

“Roghnaigh mé an cúrsa seo mar bhí fonn orm a bheith i mo mhúinteoir eacnamaíochta baile i gcónaí agus bhí grá agam don Ghaeilge ó aois an-óg. Bainim taitneamh as na ranganna praiticiúla cócaireachta agus fuála san eacnamaíocht bhaile.
Is maith liom mo chuid Gaeilge a chleachtadh sna ranganna 'Teanga na Gaeilge' agus an deis a fháil feabhas a chur ar mo chuid gramadaí freisin. Tá an champais beag agus tugann foireann an choláiste tacaíocht leanúnach do mhic léinn. Is breá liom a bheith in ann maireachtáil go neamhspleách agus taithí a fháil ar an saol anseo i Sligeach”
