I would highly recommend Cavan Institute for anyone who is indecisive about college or not knowing what they want to do. The work experience I gained through Cavan Institute was invaluable to me. They provide so many courses and have brilliant facilities to take advantage of. The tutors were a great help with everything and I cannot thank them enough for helping us prepare.

Aoife from Ballyhaise, Co Cavan enrolled on the QQI Level 5 Hairdressing at Cavan Institute in September 2019. "Starting college as a mature student with children was very nerve wrecking, however Cavan Institute made the transition very relaxed and smooth. They helped with grant applications, childcare and even with my total lack of computer knowledge. There are a number of resources available in the college that are available to all students. The knowledge and experience I gained on the Hairdressing course last year I will carry with my throughout my life. It's not just about throwing a colour in or a quick trim you are taught everything from the hair structure to layer cuts, mens cuts, hair extensions and wigs to name but a few. Doing assignments was a whole new concept to me but with the help of fellow students and lecturers I ended up really enjoying them. My advice to anyone thinking of joining Cavan Institute is 'if in doubt go check it out'. There is a course for everyone. Last year I ended up picking up extra modules and doing make up and massage and I also did a gel nail course while juggling home life and the kids, all with the help and thanks of my family, friends and Cavan Institute."

Jarlath from Derrycramph, Cavan attended St Patrick's College, Cavan. Jarlath studied QQI Level 5 Pre-University Law in Cavan Institute and progressed to IT Carlow to study Honours Bachelor of Laws LLB degree. "Having completed my leaving cert I was unsure of what I wanted to study at higher education however I always had a keen interest in law and current affairs. I had been offered an arts with history degree in NUIG but I did not feel ready to leave home at that time. I choose to study the pre university law programme in Cavan Institute and it provided me with a foundation insight into the Irish legal system in both civil and criminal proceedings. I would greatly recommend students who have just completed their leaving certs to complete a QQI/FETAC course before you progress to higher education because it provides students with the practical skills required in the modern workplace through the completion of the work experience programme. The modules in this course include law modules such as business law and criminal law as well as business based subjects such as business administration skills. There is a wide variety of arts, business, law, theology or social science degrees of which this course can be used as a progression route to. Tutors in Cavan Institute are supportive and cooperative with their students. I have now started the Honours Bachelor of Laws LLB degree this year in IT Carlow and I know the help and support I received from Cavan Institute will be of tremendous benefit to me both academically and socially."

Meet Ciara Harkin From Granard, Co Longford, who studied sports therapy and physiotherapy assistant with us and then progressed to Teesside University to complete her BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy. "My decision to attend Cavan Institute and complete a course in Sports Therapy & Physiotherapy Assistant was one of the best decisions I made. My interest in sports, sports injuries, caring, treating, maintaining and rehabilitating made this course ideal for me. After two years and successfully achieving the full 6 qualifications that are offered during this time in ITEC and FETAC/QQI exams, I applied to Teeside University to continue my studies and gain access to my BSc (hons) Degree in Physiotherapy. I was accepted into Teesside University based on all my previous experience and all my results from Cavan Institute. Cavan Institute really prepared me for higher education study e.g completing assignments, meeting deadlines & the anatomy and physiology from Cavan Institute was a huge help for University too. It was great to have a base of knowledge before starting over there . Universities are inclined to take on students that have previous experience and knowledge and I feel the Sports Therapy & Physiotherapy assistant course in Cavan Institute was ideal for me to achieve my dream career."
