What our students say

I manage a busy department in an area which is heavily regulated and requires constant upskilling. I am also an associate lecturer in TUD. I decided it was time to work towards a recognised postgraduate qualification in Training and Education. I found this programme very useful in the design and assessment of educational programmes as well as preparing me for my dissertation. I really enjoyed my time at Griffith and although the programme was challenging at times the support from the lecturers was a big contributor to my successful completion of the programme. I would highly recommend studying at Griffith College Dublin, I made some great lifelong friends and I am a much more competent and capable Lecturer and I have grown as a person both professionally and personally.

My background is in staff training. I originally applied to do the Level 9 Certificate in Training and Education and enjoyed it so much that I decided to work towards the Masters. I found the course content to be an appealing mix of theory and practical application and I have been able to apply what I learned in each module to my job. I would recommend the Masters to anyone working in the area of learning and development, especially as the flexible delivery and the support provided makes it easier to fit study in with family and work commitments.
