“Following commencement of my studies at College of Further Education & Training Kilkenny I went in on a mindset which revolves around the enhancement of my business comprehension. Since then, I have discovered various components within Tourism and Hospitality that I find to resonate with me. Among my favourite modules studied, I cannot select any one on the basis that I have had such an enthralling and engaging experience through every subject, which I ploughed through. In addition, the staff are incredibly supportive, enthusiastic and encouraging of aspirations we as students possess and will make it their mission to help see us through. I would recommend College of Further Education & Training Kilkenny to any incoming students this year. Take my word for it, it has changed my outlook on life forever.”
