Testimonial

I enrolled in the hotel and hospitality operations course driven by my passion for public interaction. The programme, chosen after consulting with the college counsellor, offers valuable hands-on experience in the hospitality industry through work placements. It significantly improved my customer service skills and boosted my confidence. The supportive staff at Carlow Institute played a crucial role in helping me achieve my goals. I’m now fulfilling my passion as a hotel receptionist.
