My course is very hands on, and that’s why I enjoy it! We are learning how to supervise and manage staff in an office environment, and all the governance and paperwork that goes along with that. There are so many opportunities to undertake work-based learning!

I’m from Derry City born and bred.

I completed my GCSE’s and A- Levels at Thornhill. I then studied Theology at Queen's University, Belfast.

I got a job working in the Western Health & Social Care Trust and thought it would be a good idea to brush up on my admin skills that had gotten rusty over the years.

100 percent. This was the best decision I ever made. I would recommend this course to both people within admin roles and those who want to pursue a career in administration.
