Former Learner
Having spent over a decade catering to patrons as a bartender, I found myself at a crossroads when the hospitality industry faced unprecedented challenges and the bar I was working at closed down. The realisation that I needed to adapt and explore new avenues led me to Glin National College, a reputable institution offering a range of healthcare courses.
Initially apprehensive about entering a completely unfamiliar field, I was intrigued by the flexibility and practical approach of Glin National College’s healthcare assistant program. The course structure allowed me to seamlessly balance my existing commitments while immersing myself in the world of healthcare.
The tutors at Glin National College proved to be exceptional, their expertise and passion for the subject radiating through every lesson. Their willingness to go the extra mile, providing personalised guidance and support, further enhanced my learning experience.
Beyond the theoretical aspects, I relished the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through placements in healthcare settings. These placements provided invaluable insights into the day-to-day work of a healthcare assistant and allowed me to apply my newfound skills in real-world scenarios.
Armed with the knowledge and confidence gained from Glin National College’s comprehensive training program, I embarked on my new career as a healthcare assistant at Beaumont Hospital.
My transition from the bustling world of bartending to the compassionate realm of healthcare has been nothing short of transformative. I’ve embraced the challenges and rewards of my new role, finding immense satisfaction in providing care and support to patients.
Having spoken to some of the staff about my personal experiences with my children on the neurodivergent spectrum, they helped me identify a course for special needs assistants that has further expanded my employment opportunities and given me a wonderful insight into my relationship with my children.
Looking back on my journey, I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity I received at Glin National College. The college’s supportive environment, high-quality training, and dedicated tutors played a pivotal role in shaping my successful transition into healthcare.
Without a doubt, I would wholeheartedly recommend Glin National College to anyone seeking a career change or upskilling in the healthcare sector. I firmly believe that Glin National College can empower individuals to achieve their goals and make a positive impact in the lives of others.
