“…My time in Rathmines College has been a great experience. I have completed a Payroll and Accounting course. It was a well-structured course that was easy to get to grips with and I feel it has been of great benefit to me. The teachers in Rathmines College are very supportive and approachable. They are invested in the students and are always happy to guide and encourage you at every step…”
