I completed the Travel & Tourism course in Central College Limerick in 2018/2019. This course really improved my confidence. I found the modules very interesting, informative and extremely helpful for the Hospitality Studies course that I am currently studying in LIT. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff in CCL. They were always so helpful and provided feedback on all of my assignments. I would highly recommend CCL for anyone who is thinking of completing a PLC course. The PLC route that I have taken in CCL has given me the foundation to help me for my further studies.
