"The lecturers were very supportive and the comradery among classmates was great so we were able to help each other out.”

Thomas Lennon | Certificate in Applied Electrical Engineering

“The course at DkIT was one of the best things I have ever done. It elevated me to a whole new career level and already opened the doors to so many amazing opportunities. It just goes to show how hard work and determination can pay off!”

Lorraine Larkin | Certificate in Digital Marketing and Digital Media Management, 2017

"From my experience, very few people want to do a bad day’s work, so having a good robust quality management system is priceless. If processes and training are in place, everyone is far happier across the board"

Mairéad Hickey | Diploma in Food Supply Chain Operations

“I definitely think that the smaller classes at DkIT and the hands-on practical tutorials were very beneficial. Especially for an IT course or any sort of course that is technical.”

Joe Mc Mahon | Springboard-supported conversion course to ICT

“I had the musical expertise but learning how to apply it to gaming and understanding the technology behind it was probably the most difficult part.I couldn’t praise the course lecturers enough."

Ronan McQuillan | Diploma in Composing for Games

‘I was drawn to Digital Marketing because photo agencies have now evolved to include videography, an essential part of digital marketing communications. It also links in with the transfer onto digital of the images in Irish Photo Archives."

Sean Walsh | Certificate in Digital Marketing and Digital Media Management.
