Student Testimonials / Where are they now?

“The business and digital marketing course in Marino College (now Cathal Brugha FET) is a brilliant course if you aren't sure on what road you would like to go down in college. The course is quite broad in the sense that you have both the creative and technical side to it. My favourite modules would have to have been accounting and marketing. The course covers all modules that are needed to get into any college at any level the following year.

All of the  teachers are great and drive you to get the best results possible to further your learning. After doing this Business and Digital Marketing course I know that business is definitely what I want to do in college next year, and I would like to acknowledge the teachers that were involved in helping me make that decision.”
