Courses are designed to provide students with the necessary practical and interpersonal skills to work successfully in businesses large and small. Over the years St. Anne’s has had many graduates find successful employment throughout the country and all around the world.

The Co-Ordinators of the Course, Geraldine O’Toole and Marion O’Brien are experienced and professional instructors and are recognised for their expertise in their fields and are dedicated to academic excellence.

St. Anne’s plays an integral part in the local community as it provides local employers with first class prospective employees with up-to-date information technology skills and excellent inter-personal skills.

Work experience is a mandatory module of the course; the students learn how an office is run and gain valuable experience in an office environment. With the recession upon us it is vital that students are equipped to deal with the technological changes in today’s environment.
