“I chose to do the Office and Administration course. All the teachers have been amazing and they were always willing to help and just wanted the best for every student. I did all 10 of my modules, and particularly enjoyed Payroll. I found it very interesting, considering I never liked maths much, but it was taught in a much more interesting way, which made things easier to learn. I have had a very positive experience here in College of FET Kilkenny. I have gained so many new skills from completing the course that I can carry with me into the working world. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time in the college and I couldn’t recommend it enough!”
