In September 2018 I started studying Level 5 Social Studies in Central College Limerick. I am now studying Level 6 Community Development. I feel like I have learned and grown my skillset so much since I joined CCL. The atmosphere in the college is really friendly and the staff are always so nice and helpful. CCL has helped me find my confidence in education. The tutors in CCL have supported me in finding my confidence and have shown me that education can be interesting and fun. I would strongly advise anyone thinking of returning to education to apply to CCL. Also, I was able to use my Level 5 Social Studies Award to progress to Level 6. This is an important year to me because I can develop my academic and professional skills and focus on career opportunities.
