Testimonials

I really enjoyed my time studying in Rathmines College, all the teachers were so supportive and helpful throughout the year. I couldn't have chosen a better place to study my QQI Level 5 and I look forward to the opportunities that come my way in the future. From this course I secured a full time job in the Mater Hospital
Emele Gibson -Medical Admin
loved my time in Rathmines college, I wish it wasn’t over so quick. The staff are all so nice and helpful. Each tutor only wants to see you succeed to the best of your ability. Whatever help you need they go above and beyond to help in anyway possible. The medical administration course was so enjoyable and so interesting. The 2 week work experience block really gave me a good feel for this industry and made me confident about pursuing a career in this field. I feel this course has really prepared me to return to work with the knowledge and skills needed for this industry. I will definitely be recommending this college in the future to any friends and family. I secured a job in Crumlin Hospital through the employment links in the college
