A STUDENTS STORY
As a mature student with young children going to College was a difficult undertaking. However, once I started in Rathmines I was quickly put at ease by the small classes and the friendly staff.
The tutors are very helpful and kind inspiring me to work hard and by doing so I have exceeded my own goals by receiving 1st place in Ireland in the T2 exam on the CAT course.
I now have the option of pursuing employment as a certified accountant or continuing in Rathmines to obtain a degree in applied accounting through partnership with Oxford Brooks University.
