“I did the Travel and Tourism course in SCFE.  It was a very good course because it help me progress now to go to university to do Digital Marketing in TUD.  Its nice that I was able to progress by doing this course”  Joshua Ryan, Graduate 2025

“If it wasn’t for some of the skills that I learned in Sallynoggin College I don’t think I could have got the jobs that I did. I have seen so many countries around the world through my work. Overall I would say if it wasn’t for doing the Travel & Tourism Course in Sallynoggin I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
Thoma McEvatt, Former Hotel Manager, now Tour Operator
