Over 120 proud students were presented with their QQI Certificates in Killarney Community College on Thursday last.

Awards were presented to both day and night students of the College. Day students graduated in Office Administration, a full-time Level 5/6 one year course. Night course Award Recipients had studied Challenging Behaviour, Daily Patient Living, Early Childhood Care and Education, Special Needs Assisting, and Accounting Manual and Computerised. These achievements greatly represent the College Mission Statement of ‘Excellence in Learning for Life through Respect, Responsibility and Inclusion’.

Director of Adult Education in Killarney Community College, John Keane, congratulated all the recipients and commended them for their commitment and the personal sacrifices made by many to complete their courses. He reminded graduates of the importance of QQI Certification and encouraged them not to stop now.  College tutors were also in attendance and Mr Keane acknowledged them for the tuition, guidance and support afforded to the students over the year.

The highly successful evening ended with light refreshments and an opportunity for students to meet with their peers and tutors.
