Are you Reflecting on how you did in the Leaving Certificate and wishing to explore broader pathways?
RTE did a recent series called “Leaving Cert and Me” in which former Ballyfermot College student Sharon Tobin spoke about her Leaving Cert Journey which took her to BCFE where she studied on the 2 Year Radio course and then completed the Media Management Degree.
“What was really important to me was to know that there were other ways to get to the career that I wanted”.
Sharon always speaks very positively about her time in BCFE and the PLC Route. Sharon was also the special guest and presenter at BCFE recent Graduation where she made a well received speech.
You can see “Leaving Cert and Me” and other pieces here in which Ballyfermot College is mentioned by her.
