Alison O'Kelly | Graduate of the Pre-University Marketing Course 2023“I genuinely couldn’t recommend Rathmines college enough. When I didn’t get the leaving cert points that I had hoped for, I had no idea how I was going to get into university, but after meeting all the tutors and staff in Rathmines, I knew I was in safe hands! There is such a community spirit around the college, all the staff are so supportive and welcoming, and they really do prioritise the students. The marketing course is so comprehensive, and it has already given me so many opportunities that otherwise would never have been possible. It really did confirm just how much I want to pursue a career in the business and marketing world. If you are in doubt, take the leap and enrol with Rathmines, I promise you won’t regret it!

Testimonials

Throughout the year all of the lectures were very supportive and the various modules were well structured and enjoyable. The coursework proved very manageable with constant help being offered from all the staff. The next step for me is Digital Marketing in TUD. I would strongly encourage anyone who might be interested in beginning a marketing career to consider Rathmines College.

Doing the 1-year Certificate in Marketing with Digital Media course at Rathmines College was extremely beneficial. The classes were very interesting, and all the tutors, teachers, and students were very kind and helpful, if you needed help with anything they were always there to help, I 100% recommend choosing Rathmines College to study. All the modules are well-structured and interesting. With the help of my wonderful teachers and a fantastic course, I've realized that Digital Marketing is a course/career I want to continue. I'm so glad I made the decision to go to Rathmines College.
