Supported by Failte Ireland, colleges, institutes and training centres all over Ireland offer a wide variety of courses in tourism and hospitality designed to get you started.

“Its very one on one. The classes are small enough that the lecturers do get to know you” (Wes Kiely, Hospitality Student)

“You’re constantly learning things at the same time as enjoying it, I would thoroughly recommend it” (Kevin Wong, Hospitality student)

There are work place programmes,  so you can earn as you learn, available on a full and part time basis, National Apprenticeship Programmes (NAP’s), certificate and degree programmes.

“If you work hard and have a genuine interest in the industry, then there are definitely rewards in it, definitely money to be made in the industry” (Hospitality Student)
