Nikita DoyleThe course gripped me from the very beginning right and right to the end of my college year. It was thoroughly enjoyable, captivating, but challenging at times also.

The course consisted of 9 modules, many of which I had not studied before. Each one was very intriguing and different in their own way. I found the continuous assessments throughout the year very helpful. The course also consisted of two weeks’ work experience in the property sector. I found this extremely beneficial, as it allowed me to gain experience in the industry, which I hope to pursue a career in the future. My experience at Ballsbridge College has been nothing but enjoyable and extremely beneficial.

The college has had a very positive impact on my life. I am so grateful to the lecturers at the college for their guidance and tuition during my time at the college. The lectures not only helped me to achieve my dream course by pushing me to achieve the best grades, they taught me skills which I will use throughout my future studies and career. They made me feel I had the potential to progress and achieve what I wanted. I am now currently in DIT (now TU Dublin), studying level 8 “Property Economics”. Ballsbridge has given me a huge advantage, by preparing me for my current course in TU Dublin.

I would highly recommend Ballsbridge College to everyone. From each lecturer’s dedication to the pleasant environment it has so many options for everyone. It is because of the lecturers at Ballsbridge College that I have got to where I am today and I am so grateful.”

Ballsbridge College has a personal interest in all its students that I found remarkable.  The lecturers on my course were diligent, passionate, practical and enthusiastic about their subjects and extremely generous with their time.  My experience in Ballsbridge College has given me the courage and motivation to purse my goals not only in education but in life also.  I highly recommend the Auctioneering Estate Agency and Valuation course in Ballsbridge College for anyone interested in a career in the property industry.”
