Rathmines College have played a huge part in my life and current work career.

I applied for the Advanced Certificate in Office Administration - Legal, and with my previous experience in completing an ECDL course and typing course, I had been accepted straight to the second year of legal studies.

As part of the course I spent three days in college, and two days on a work placement in a solicitor's office. I found it very challenging. However, it gave me an idea of the shape of my future potential career. It was fascinating and in my opinion it was the best way of learning!

Furthermore, in college I gained a wide range of computer skills which are so essential in the office environment, as well as basic legal knowledge I needed in order to get a position within in a legal firm.
I received full-time attention and excellent one-to-one tutoring that helped me to achieve the goals which were set out for me.

In the end I got my dream job in one of the top legal firms in Dublin.

I will always think of Rathmines College as home and the place which launched my career. I have made many friends there and I would strongly recommend this course to everyone who is hoping for a better future for themselves.
