“I found my course in Ballsbridge College to be a very interesting and innovative course. It gave me confidence going into college as I have a good base of knowledge for some of the modules I’m studying at the moment. I became confident in completing assignments and learnt important research techniques such as referencing and producing a bibliography. Compared to other students in my year, I really think doing this course has given me an advantage as I feel I have had a head start and feel much more comfortable in the transition to college. The course has relevant subjects such as Digital Marketing, Marketing and Consumer Psychology and these have given me a great insight into the world of marketing and what to expect. I felt very encouraged to be creative and come up with my own ideas which created a very enthusiastic and fun environment for me to learn all about the marketing world and this is why I enjoyed my time at Ballsbridge College.”
“The teachers at Ballsbridge College are professional and approachable. They are all very knowledgeable on the topic that they teach and are student-focused. Having achieved great results, I applied to DCU through the CAO. I was offered my first choice, Marketing, Innovation and Technology at DCU. I would like to attribute my achievement to Ballsbridge College. Ballsbridge College was a vital stepping stone for me to achieve my goal to attend university.”
