WHAT OUR STUDENT SAY

If success is what you’re looking for, Rathmines College will take you there after completing the QQI Level 5 Business Award I am now studying Aviation Management in DCU.
Bibi Olaogun
Spending an extra year doing my QQI Level 5 in Business and IT was the best decision for me. The help and support from teachers was great. I felt like I had more potential after graduating from Business and IT and the course led me to now studying Business, Economics and Social Studies (BESS) in Trinity.
Noman Javed
The Level 5 Business and Finance course was the perfect choice for me. The course modules are extremely appropriate to so many areas of business and the teaching staff have always been very helpful and supportive. I am now really enjoying my NCI Level 8 Degree course in Business and planning on doing a H. Dip in Further Education
Roisin Kearns
Looking back on my time in Rathmines College it was a year which changed my life. I was so lucky to be successful in getting the Central Bank of Ireland Bridging the Gap Programme. Today, I am working in the Central Bank as well as studying for a BA in Business in Griffith College.

I completed the QQI Level 5 in News and Media and QQI Level 6 Advanced News and Media. I found the modules extremely interesting and all the teachers highly engaging. Rathmines College is a fantastic college with many paths to education and careers.
Daniel Coffey
The Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) course blended learning model suited me perfectly as I was juggling busy family life and studies. Applying for a course or booking an exam was easy and smooth process thanks to Ciaran, Sean and Andrea. The course is quite intense, but our tutors, Laoise, Sinead, Eucharia and Sheena provided an amazing support, guidance, techniques and material preparing us for the exams.
Ruta Pak
The ACCA course at Rathmines College gave me a new start and a new hope for my career. It gave me clear answers to my questions about my ACCA journey and gave me a clear goal for my future and the motivation to keep going through education and into the workplace. CAT 1
