Testimonials
The Office Administration course was such a great experience . I completed my work experience in a local company and got a full-time job as a receptionist . The tutors were so good and such a great help . They encouraged me all the way .– P . M .
“ I went to VTOS and now I ’ m a Regional Manager for an employment support service . I worked in construction since I was 15 and when the crash came joined VTOS . The last thing I thought was that it would lead to going to Maynooth University and getting a joint honours degree in social science . It opened everything up for me and gave me the confidence to take a shot at something new . I ' ve since been working full time supporting teams of people to help others return to work or find different paths themselves . VTOS was the best decision I ever made and I ’ m forever grateful to the tutors and the other students that helped me during my time there . You mightn ’ t know what you want to do , like I didn ' t , but getting in to talk to them would be a good start .”– Paul O ’ Connor
Before I started VTOS I was a bit nervous , and afraid that I would be overwhelmed by the whole experience . However , the experience was great and the staff were very good at putting me at ease . After a couple of days , I felt like I had been here for ages . I have definitely benefited from returning to education , it has given me a purpose again . I feel like I am moving forward in a positive way . It ’ s been a very positive experience ; I ’ d recommend it to anyone who is thinking of doing the same .” – Barry 2017
When I first applied to study art , I thought it would be a great way to socialize while improving on my hobbies . The staff and my peers were so wonderful and supportive . It is through their help and encouragement that not only did I complete my course , but I also was able to secure a place in my 1st choice at 3rd level college . I never would have considered this 2 years ago . I cannot thank everyone at VTOS Athy enough for all their support and encouragement . I will never forget you all .” – Laura 2020
