I really enjoyed eBusiness Course in St Farnan's Post Primary School, which I completed in 2010. I found the course to be very comprehensive and informative. It can be a daunting experience for a mature student to return to learning but thankfully the tutors and the other learners made this transition very easy for me.
The work experience module was an integral part of the course for me, as the employer offered me part time work when I completed my studies. I worked part time for three years which enabled me to gain invaluable experience, while building my confidence and putting my communication skills into practice.
I am now happily working full time for the past two years as an administrator for a Facilities Management Company who are engaged by the public sector. My work is varied and close to home. I enjoy dealing with the client and liaising closely with contractors and visitors to the campus, while providing a professional and efficient reception service, along with administrative support to the busy FM Office.
I would highly recommend the FETAC eBusiness Course at St Farnan's for any mature student who may be considering a change of direction and returning to work.

As a mature student who had left school in my mid teens I found this PLC course to be an ideal way to gently reintroduce myself back into the classroom.
I had concerns in the beginning as to how I would juggle looking after my family and going back to school, but the course was very flexible and enabled me to do both.
The course covers many modules which equips the student with a wide range of up to the minute skills that will prepare them for placement in a modern office.
I found the teachers to be very patient, approachable and very informed in all aspects of the course and provided me with much needed encouragement.
