    I have been in Ireland for more than a year, I work full time and have veterinary background but I wanted to get back to studies and start something completely different. I decided to enrol in an evening course in Human Resources Management. I was looking for a college in the city centre providing classes for a reasonable price and very good quality education. And well, I have found the place, Westmoreland College. The College is situated close to Temple Bar, with simple but cosily equipped classrooms and very friendly, nice and helpful personnel. The course itself is great, classes are interesting, proactive and students are provided with a great amount of information and studying material. The teachers are very knowledgeable, happy to share their experience and willing to answer every question. I have learnt so many new and interesting things, learnt about different angles to approach problems related to employment, found new friends, and had great fun and gained motivation to continue in further education.
