Ivan Mosart from Navan, completed QQI Level 5 Business Studies Accounting and Finance course at Cavan Institute in 2020-2021. Ivan successfully gained a place on the level 8 Degree in Accounting and Finance in GMIT, using the CAO ‘Round Zero’ Offers, and was delighted to hear in early August 2021, that he had secured his place using this new system. "I chose to do the accounting and finance course, as it was something that I also wanted to do since secondary school. The course provided me with a great insight into the Irish business and accounting practices. We used both manual and computerised accounting systems and I found this very interesting. I knew that this course would help me to develop and grow for my future career and give me many opportunities. The tutors were all so friendly and supportive, and so dedicated to their work. I also went to career guidance, who steered me into the right path after my course in Cavan Institute. Thanks to all the wonderful tutors and staff for giving me a great start to college life."

Overview Content Progression Requirements Fees Previous Course Next Course Nathan Cassidy Music and Sound Production After receiving my Leaving Cert results in 2019 I was very disappointed with my results as I just missed out on my CAO course by 6 points as I wanted to go to Maynooth University. I knew that I wanted to study music in college, but I didn’t want to repeat my leaving cert. So, I decided to do a level 5 QQI/Btec course in music and sound production here in Cavan Institute. Little did I know that doing a PLC in Cavan Institute was the best thing for me at that time, as I made a lot of new friends who were interested in music as much as I am. In my course, I got to learn the piano and I improved on my music theory also. When I went to Cavan Institute I had little to no knowledge about music production nor music technology which was a worry for me at first but with the help of my tutors and my fellow colleagues I learned so much about the production/technology side of the course. Studying in Cavan Institute has taught me very important skills for college such as getting used to ‘Moodle’, academic referencing in assignments was very important for me to learn as I'll always have to do that in college. I also learned how to take in information in a college unlike secondary school, college has a different way of teaching you the information you need for your assignments/exams.
