SEE WHAT STUDENTS SAY
"I just finished the Business with Project Management course. I chose it because it seemed like the best course with HR-related modules. I successfully completed this course and plan to continue my studies in NCI in HR Management. The HR Management, Leadership, Personal and Professional Development and Communication modules provide an excellent basis for understanding and further progression in the profession. I met inspiring tutors here who know how to get people interested and really excited about their subject. I was also very pleased with the college with its modern technical base and digital equipment. The Project Management module from this course gives you irreplaceable knowledge in the modern digital world in any industry. I would wholeheartedly recommend this course!"

"Having a qualification in Business with Project Management (Level 6) helped me apply to higher education and I have been accepted to DCU for Business Studies Level 8. I genuinely became more confident, and I know exactly what I want to do next."
Amjaad Alamri (Graduate 2024)
“Starting this course, I was filled with both great emotions and some reticence, as I was returning to the formal education system after a break during which I dedicated myself to raising a family.
From the beginning, I found myself surrounded by professional and supportive teachers who guided me wonderfully on this educational journey, tailoring each discussion, experience, and situation to my needs.
I also met wonderful people who inspired me with their knowledge and actions, including colleagues of various ages and nationalities, and perhaps even made some lifelong friends.
Thank you very much to everyone! Let's always remember: "The sky is the limit."
