Testimonials

Certificate in Computer Programming (2017- 2018) now studying Computer Science at UCD. “After my Leaving Cert in 2017, I decided to study Computer Programming at Rathmines College. I settled into the course quickly and enjoyed the modules being taught. The lecturers did a great job throughout the year to make sure every student was able to reach their potential. Thanks to Rathmines College I received a CAO offer to do Computer Science in UCD. My time in Rathmines was short, it was a great year and would recommend the college to anybody looking to do a PLC course.
