“The course has equipped me with the knowledge and expertise to deal with a variety of situations”
It was very daunting but with the encouragement of my family and friends, I decided to explore the possibility of returning to education so I could work in the healthcare sector. Following successful employment with a company called Comfort Keepers, they offered me an opportunity to complete my QQI Level 5 course in healthcare. So far the course has equipped me with the knowledge and expertise to deal with a variety of situations and this helps me in my day-to-day work. The course is also QQI accredited which is great as it provides me with the skills necessary for working in a healthcare role and I really feel like I am achieving something.
“I am excited for what the future holds”
I am enjoying my work as a carer and my hope for the future is to specialise in the area of palliative care. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of returning to education to do it. I have obtained distinctions in my first two modules, which I never thought would be possible. Finally, my hard work is paying off. Returning to work and education has been an amazing experience. I am now doing a job that I love and I am looking forward to the future.
