Many interesting subjects provided me with knowledge to work in various departments of the airline industry. The lecturers were supportive, friendly and motivating. Rathmines fosters a culture that promotes growth and development in a friendly environment where you feel comfortable, confident and supported throughout the study year. I had a great experience in Rathmines and I highly recommend anyone who has an interest in aviation to pursue this course”.
