Casey Maher attended St. Clare’s College, Ballyjamesduff before enrolling on the QQI Level 5 Nursing Studies – Maternity Care course at Cavan Institute during 2019/20. She passed all modules on the course and used her QQI Level 5 award to progress to Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge to undertake the Midwifery BSc (Hons) Degree programme.

When Casey was asked how her year at Cavan Institute she replied "it really gave me the chance to mature and realise that this was the profession I wanted to pursue. It also showed me the other options for becoming a midwife such as the UK (through UCAS).
It gave me a good insight into the work required such as referencing to use now at third level. Cavan Institute was definitely the stepping stone I needed to get me here today."
