“I really enjoyed the Airline Studies course in SCFE.  I went to Tenerife on the Erasmus programme and really enjoyed meetings loads of new people and getting to do work experience there.  I learned so much and got really confident during the course.  I recommend it to anybody” Laura Keogh, Graduation 2024  

“Having graduated from SCFE, I got my first interview as a Passenger Services agent job with Swissport through SCFE and after 2 years there I applied for a Cabin Crew job in Aer Lingus. My two years in Sallynoggin College were very special to me and the teachers were extremely helpful and invested in making sure that we were well prepared for whatever path you wanted to follow after graduation.” Dácil Artiles Gracia,
Aer Lingus Senior Cabin Crew
