Student Comments:
"I think Training for Success is a good course to do because you learn new skills through the different modules which are on the course. For me, the course helps build my confidence and I met other people with epilepsy and made new friends as a result."
Jennifer
"Training for Success helped to remind me what it was like to be in education and to find out where I wanted to go afterwards. It has given me the confidence to apply for the course I want to do next year. At the beginning of the course I did not see what benefits the creative subjects brought but I ended up enjoying them and saw that they gave me confidence."
Brendan
"I would most definitely recommend this course to other people as the Training for Success course has already helped me a lot in the first few months. My self
confidence has grown a lot and there is great help available to everyone on the course. You get a chance that you may have thought you would never get again and a good qualification."
Stephen
"Don't let epilepsy get you down. Just get up and do something! Learn how to control your epilepsy better. It's great craic meeting people in Sligo and there's a good night life. You never know, you might meet the man or woman of your dreams!"
Liam
"This course is a fantastic opportunity to get back into education and meet new people; epilepsy is not a barrier as everyone has it and accepts it."
Katie
"I would recommend this course to anyone as I have learned so much out of it. Before I started this course I was shy but now am coming out of my shell. I have made new friends and the course is helping me to get into third level education."
Deirdre
"This course gives you good self confidence and independence, a sense of responsibility and well being. You learn a lot more about epilepsy and start to learn to be a person and not let the epilepsy control you. Also Drama, Art and Humanities are good craic, You'll loosen up in them and find your voice."
Kacey
"I think the course is good. You get to meet new people and new subjects like Drama. You get to know what you need to do to set your goals and achieve them.
