What Our Students Say
After completing my Leaving Certificate in 2004 and having worked in the hospitality sector for six years, I decided it was time for a change. Deciding to do this course was a big life change for me but it proved successful and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering it. I felt totally at ease and comfortable everyday and I feel this was down to the tutors instilling confidence in each student with their "can do" attitude. If you are thinking about gaining employment in the medical or legal secretarial field, then I would highly recommend this course. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Galway Community College and I am sure that you will too!
