BellTIME BellTIME My time in Moate Business College was exceptional. The lecturers are incredibly helpful and are always available for support and guidance. I would like to give a special thanks to the two Bernie’s (lecturers), to this day I tell people how amazing both of you and the other lecturing staff in Moate were to me during my time in the college. Thanks to your help, expertise and guidance, I completed the level 5 in Nursing Studies. From there I completed the Bachelors honors degree in Social Care Practice and finally a Masters in Child and Youth Studies. I currently work for Tusla Child and Family agency and I have I originally studied Computer Studies in Moate Business College in 2012, at this time I was unsure what I wanted to do as a career. After completing this course, I went on to work in two different jobs and realised the real path I wanted to take. I wanted to become a Travel Agent and my best step forward was to complete the Tourism with Business course. So, I returned to Moate in September 2016 and studied the QQI Level 6 Tourism with Business Course. During this last year I have learnt so much and have developed myself personally and professionally. I was also lucky enough to be selected to take part in the Erasmus 30 applied for a PHD in Children and Youth research to commence in September 2018 in UCD. I had the help I needed in Moate, I had the guidance and support, which in turn helped me develop as a student and achieve things that were once beyond my imagination. So thank you Moate Business College, for the amazing experience and opportunity for growth and development. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, then Moate Business College is the College for you! Meekness Musasa Programme. I got to go to Italy and experience a whole new culture. How amazing is that? With mandatory work experience I got to work in a travel agency which I still work in once a week. I know now that this is the definitely the path I want to take and I know I have a bit to go before I’m fully qualified but I wouldn’t have gotten this far without the course I did here in Moate Business College. My confidence has grown as I know that I can do anything I want once I work hard and believe in myself. All this could not of happened without the help of my amazing tutors and I will be ever so grateful. onam Jessica Lo STUDENT Testimonials 31
