    I wanted better job opportunities and the Access course gave me the pathway towards the career I’ve always dreamed of. It was quite daunting returning to college but I found all the staff at Strabane campus really helpful and friendly. They made the experience so enjoyable.

    We represented Ireland at the 2024 Summer Paralympic Games, and one of our proudest moments was when we received a guard of honour from NWRC staff and students when we returned to the College to host a Q&A masterclass on Sport Psychology.
