"As a mature student I cannot recommend Rathmines College highly enough. I had worked for a couple of years and then decided to pursue a course in the Accounting field. I found the teachers very helpful and supportive. This gave me the confidence to achieve my ambition in becoming accredited by IATI (Institute of Accountancy Technicians of Ireland.) This has allowed me exam exemptions for continuing in Rathmines College towards my next goal of becoming a Certified Chartered Accountant (ACCA)."
