Our Courses – an overview:
Art, Design and Photography courses enable
students to prepare their portfolios for
progression to degree programmes in Institutes
such as IADT and NCAD.
‘After attending Sallynoggin’s Level 5 & Level 6 Art
courses, I can say with 100% certainty that SCFE
is a college well worth attending. The
approachable members of staff will help hone your
skills and guide you onto the path that’s right for
you. You will also be surrounded by friendly
classmates of different backgrounds and skill
levels making the school year both creatively and
personally beneficial. After completing the course,
I was accepted into the Illustration course that I
put as my first choice on the CAO.’

Our Tourism and Travel qualifications allows
students to specialise in the areas of Airline,
hospitality, travel agency, event management and
tourism. Our airline and Travel Industry Studies
students are trained in cabin, ground crew and
travel agency skills and experience a full days
training with Aer Lingus.
‘If it wasn’t for some of the skills that I learned at
Sallynoggin College I don’t think I could have got
the jobs that I did. I have seen so many countries
around the world through my work. Overall I would
say if it wasn’t for doing the Travel and Tourism
Course in Sallynoggin I wouldn’t be where I am
today..’

Exercise, Personal Training, Yoga and Pilates
Teaching. The Personal Training courses offer two
options to specialise in either Strength &
Conditioning or Sports Therapies which includes
sports massage and Physiotherapy Assistant. All
courses in this area include studying nutrition.
‘‘The course was challenging at times as the
standards set for both Sports Massage and Personal
Training are extremely high. However, I found this to
be a positive as it helped prepare me for both
working in the industry and furthering my education
in studying for an honours degree in Strength and
Conditioning in St Marys University, UK.’

workshops in Barbering.
‘‘Since graduating I have completed my

(Young Talent in Hair Category), with which I am
absolutely delighted. I was also awarded Group
