Student testimonials

I would highly recommend this course as I feel it has opened a new door to a new career path for me.

I always knew I wanted a career in healthcare and completing this course in Cavan Institute has allowed me the opportunity to achieve this.

I found the subjects fascinating in my course and really enjoyed learning what occupational therapy is and the many ways in which occupational therapists help people to recover and live with their congenital or acquired injuries.

As a result of this course, I was successful in securing a place in Glasgow Caledonian University to do a BSc Hons degree in Occupational Therapy.

Danielle took her first step to becoming a Nurse by completing the Nursing Studies course at Cavan Institute.

Cavan Institute was definitely the stepping stone I needed to get me here today.

I am 100% certain I would not be at London South Bank University today without having attended Cavan Institute last year.

I am so grateful for all the help they’ve given me through this past year and am so happy that I was given the opportunity to go to my dream college!"

I completed my work experience in December and as a result of my placement I was offered a full time job in May when the course is completed.

I feel prepared to start the next step of my journey in a level 8 music production course, and would definitely recommend Cavan Institute to anybody who has a passion for this subject.

The atmosphere, the staff, the canteen ladies, the whole place is like one big family!

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.

After hearing a radio advertisement promoting Cavan Institute, Declan attended the open day and quickly signed up for the Motor Vehicle Maintenance QQI Level 5 course.

I enjoyed attending Cavan Institute and found the pace and content of classes ideal.

It was a brilliant course that covered plenty of areas in the motor industry and in doing this course it helped me to decide that motor mechanics is definitely for me.

I loved this course and it was fun to do and I learned many new things throughout the year. I especially enjoyed doing Special Effects.
