Testimonials
Read what our past students have to say about their experience with Portarlington Further Education and Training Centre
“I found the course useful and interesting. Teachers were very helpful and
understanding as most of us were going back to education after many years of
not studying.
After successfully completing the first year of course I was lucky enough to get work experience, as an Accounts Assistant.”

“The decision to return to education was one of the best choices I made, the
thought seemed daunting at the start but I soon settled in. All of the tutors were
very helpful and the students gave each other support, I made some great friends
who will be friends for life. The course I chose was Office Administration, this
course most definitely helped me to secure the job I have today.”
