Green keeping Course QQI Level 4
- Naas Golf Course
“I can’t believe how quickly the year has flown
by on the green keeping course. I had previous
experience in green keeping but this course
has pushed me to develop my understanding
of golf course machines and turf grass
management. I am now beginning a full time
job in Portarlington GC and this is all thanks
to the green keeping course. Being awarded the
student of the year just topped off an amazing
year with amazing people”. (William receiving
his green keeping student of the year award for
2015-2016).
“I really enjoyed the green keeping course. This
course has given me back an interest in work
and has got me back in the mind-set to gain
employment. I have received a job offer from
the golf course I did my work placement. If I
didn’t do the course I would still be at home
searching for work. I would really recommend
this course to anybody looking for a way back
into employment, or to start building a career”
(Shane receiving his student green keeping of
the year award for 2014-2015 at the Aviva
Stadium)
