Students
Picking a course or career to suit you can be a very daunting task, especially if you have never been through the process before. For your one to one session we will discuss what interests you in study or a career.
What will be the best fit for you?
What will complement your talents and strengths?
As well as courses, we can discuss what university or college might suit you better, or what apprenticeship or PLC course would suit. If there is a possibility you want to study in Europe/UK. We can discuss how to apply for scholarships in both Ireland and the US. Whatever your concern or interests are you can let Donnchadh know over the initial phone conversation.
If it is possible, students are asked to bring Aptitude test results, subject choices and recent exam/test results.
Students who are finishing 3rd Year or Transition Year and want to discuss subject choice are particularly encouraged to make an appointment. It is at the stage we can help students to cover all eventualities they might face in the future.
