Applied Science - Forensics

I would advise a PLC course as it sets you up for third level and further education. I'm happy I did it. My favourite part was the forensics module which was very detailed. We did work experience in lab-based environments which was very informative. Cavan is a very welcoming in environment with great lecturers.
