I studied Health Care Support in the 2018/2019 academic year. I had the most wonderful time during my studies at Central College Limerick. I had very good tutors who were always there to help out whenever I needed help. I enjoyed every moment doing the course. The course opened up a world of new experiences that were exciting to know about. After graduating I am employed as a fully qualified Health Care Assistant putting to use the invaluable knowledge I got from tutors in the college. I am grateful and happy that I chose to attend my course at Central College Limerick.
