Student Experiences

“While attending Kinsale College I completed courses in Office Administration & Computer Skills and the Advanced Certificate in Business Management. The relaxed learning environment and support of lecturers contributed towards a very positive experience. On completion of the courses there were numerous further educational opportunities available through the CAO, College Links System and by Direct Application to Third Level Institutes. I found the courses covered a wide range of subjects and gave me a great understanding and foundation to progress to third level education in Business Studies in CIT.”
Michael Murphy Past Student
Having worked in retail for several years, I decided to apply for the Level 5 Office Administration Course at Kinsale College to change my career. Although I was apprehensive about returning to education, I could not be happier with the decision I made. Kinsale College offers a very welcoming and nurturing environment for its students. In particular, I found the office administration course modules contained all the necessary information and skills required to prepare students for work in a busy office environment. Upon completion of the course, I found immediate employment in the public sector where I currently work in a busy HR Department. I found that I transitioned and adapted easily from retail to the office environment. I would highly recommend Kinsale College for anyone looking to up skill or change their career path
