“My name is Adam Deasy, having completed a Business Level 6 course in Kinsale College, I can honestly say the experience equipped me with the knowledge and skills that are required for CIT. The most important aspect of Kinsale College that I appreciate the most is the support of the lecturers. They were the most helpful and hardworking lecturers that I have ever met and contributed massively to me progressing to CIT today. After a few years of moving from plc course to plc course, I came across Kinsale College and it was the best decision I made, today I am in CIT currently doing a Business Studies course. I would highly recommend Kinsale College to anyone as it is a great experience and everyone there will help you meet the goals that you have set for yourself”

“My name is Warren O’Driscoll and I am currently studying Business at Cork Institute of Technology. After attempting different PLC courses in Cork for two years I stumbled upon Kinsale College where I studied a Level 6 Business course. I found the college to be thoroughly enjoyable with a relaxed learning environment and small classes which helped in the learning process. The teachers were great and helped me to achieve every goal I had set out to reach in my year there. I would highly recommend the College to anyone who is looking into doing a PLC course, attending the College was a decision I thank myself for making every day!”
