“The Garden Design & Landscape course in the College gave me a solid foundation and the appetite to pursue further studies. The enthusiasm and support from the lecturers in CFE played a pivotal part in my chosen career path and having completed an Honours Degree in Horticulture, I am now self-employed and work as a Horticultural Therapist and teacher.”

Debbie Bailey, Gardening and Landscape Design

After years of being at home raising my family, I enrolled in the Craft, Textile, and Design QQI Level 6 course.

The course brought out the creativity in me giving me a new passion for textile art and the confidence to start my own business – etsy.com.ie/shop/RaggedLadyTextiles.

I would strongly recommend the Art Craft and Design course to anybody who has an interest in design and textiles.

  • I now have options for progressive study which wouldn’t have been possible before

    The Liberal Arts course at Dundrum College of Further Education has allowed me the opportunity to explore different areas within the Humanities. I now have options for progressive study which wouldn’t have been possible before and it has instilled in me the confidence to study English Literature at university level. I would implore anyone looking to go onto studying the humanities at University to consider this course first as it offers such rich well of learning and growth as an individual and within academia.

    My time studying with DCFE was very enjoyable  and the added support from my tutors helped me to achieve my goals in gaining a Level 6 “In Early Childhood Care & Education”.

  • I recommend this program to everyone whether you have a love for arts or just as a stepping stone to further education.

    The Liberal Arts Philosophy and Classical Studies course is ideal for all those seeking an understanding of the complexities of our world, particularly my favourite subject, Philosophy. The course not only opens doors to higher education as a General Studies Level 5 qualification but also provides a firm understanding of the subjects delivered by highly qualified staff. The staff at DCFE provide amazing support to everyone and no one is left out. I recommend this program to everyone whether you have a love for arts or just as a stepping stone to further education.

  • If you are deciding on what college to study childcare in I highly recommend this course to you!

    I studied my Level 6 in Early Learning & Care at DCFE and I can wholeheartedly say that this course is second to none! The tutors were extremely helpful and made the classes so interesting. This made my time on the course go fast due to their dedication and how hard they work with you to make sure to help you in any way they can. The modules were very informative and I found that I could put a lot of theory into practice.If you are deciding on what college to study childcare in I highly recommend this course to you! It was extremely flexible for me while I worked, watching class recordings in my own time, having plenty of time to complete assignments and having amazing tutors who are on hand to email or zoom call whenever you have questions! I am now a Room Leader planning to do my level 7 in the future thanks to plenty of encouragement.

    Having considered changing my career path for many years, I cannot fault my experience in DCFE. The experience was beyond what I thought it would be, from academic support to friendship and lots of laughs.  I highly recommend you go for it and change your path. I wish I’d done this years ago.

  • My wonderful teachers gave me a lot of happy emotions in learning and practicing gardening and garden design.

    College education at level 5 and 6 in the Horticulture course flew by like happy days. I am very glad that I came to the course because I received not only a new skill, but also a new wonderful hobby.  My wonderful teachers gave me a lot of happy emotions in learning and practicing gardening and garden design.  Now I feel like a real professional and I can create and give flower beauty to people. It is amazing that this course is for all ages and different people, as everyone can find a foothold in this stable knowledge that will help them get closer to nature and better understand the plant world.   And I don’t want to say goodbye to them, I hope for further cooperation and friendship!

  • I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in a career in Garden Design.

    I undertook the Garden Design course in the academic year 2022/23. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course, the classes were always interesting and provided us with a vast amount of information. The staff were always supportive, encouraging and willing to assist us if or when issues arose. We undertook weekly work practice one day per week right through the course until March. At this stage we did work placement for the entire month and this allowed us to develop our practical skills.  It is a great way to learn and to meet new people who have a similar interest in gardening matters.I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in a career in Garden Design and in the general area of Horticulture or to anyone who just wants to broaden their knowledge in these areas.
