Deciding to do a PLC in Ballsbridge College has benefited me in many ways. The course I studied was Digital Marketing and because I worked hard and got good results, I am now completing a Level 8 Degree in International Business in TU Dublin. The skills that my PLC taught me have really helped! I feel like I have a head start in some of my modules, especially Marketing and Accounting and thanks to my time in Ballsbridge College my computer skills have greatly improved. I also learnt skills that will help in me in College, such as how to reference properly, how to use Excel and PowerPoint and how to interpret feedback on assessments. I firmly believe that I am finding my first year in college a lot easier thanks to my time in Ballsbridge College. I would highly recommend students who are unsure about their academic future to research the wide range of PLCs that are available.”

When I completed my Leaving Cert, I had no idea what direction I wanted to go in life or what career path I wanted to pursue. I finally settled on Digital Marketing in Ballsbridge College. This was one of the best decisions I have made in life yet. From the day I entered Ballsbridge College a huge feeling of confidence was instilled within me by all the teachers. The teachers are truly second to none, they consistently do everything in their power to encourage and assist you to perform the best you possibly can during your time here. The support, dedication, and motivation displayed by each and every tutor in Ballsbridge College   is remarkable.  My goal was to gain entry into Bachelor of Business Studies in Dublin City University and I succeeded in this. I proudly attribute my achievement to all of my teachers in Ballsbridge College.  I can safely say that the knowledge and skills that I gained during my time in Ballsbridge College was vital to my success in the first year of my university degree.”
