I went back to college as a mature student to do the Office Administration course in Rathmines College. The course was very knowledgeable, and the college was very welcoming to all ages. I enjoyed arriving every day to a positive environment with staff and fellow students who were very engaging and pleasant. I would highly recommend Rathmines College to anyone who wants to learn.
