Bernie Ennis
Level 5 Office Accounts, Administration and Information Processing Bernie has progressed to employment
I began a full-time Business Administration and Office Accounts course in Dunboyne College in September 2020, as a mature student with a view to returning to work, which was a huge step for me.
Dunboyne provided me with a place where all my needs were met. I had some difficulty with modern technology in the beginning, but Dunboyne College provided support through a learning hub which was a life saver when assignments had to be handed in.
It was like private tuition!
The course content covered a huge range of subjects, one was work experience which I was lucky enough to get and unbelievably I got a job from it, a three-day week which was my ideal.
I am so delighted to have attended Dunboyne College which has a super support and education system. I would highly recommend it!
