WHAT OUR GRADUATES SAY

The experience I gained from attending Ballyfermot college has been incredibly helpful to me gaining employment in the television industry. Studying TV and Digital Film, level 5 (ITC), and Television Production and Operations, level 6 (ITH) gives Ballyfermot students an advantage once they begin to look for work in a practical focused industry such as television and video production.

BCFE offered us the chance to work on projects for clients outside the college where you gain invaluable experience on projects that must meet industry standard. I was lucky enough to produce content for companies like Radio Nova and film live shows in venues all over Dublin like the National Concert Hall, Button Factory, Workman’s Club and the Grand Social to name a few.

The tutors have exceptional knowledge of their subject areas. They genuinely care about their students.

With supportive, friendly and knowledgeable teaching, BCFE gave me a great foundation in the skills I needed to communicate my stories and begin my journey into the industry. Some highlights from the year were the end of year exhibition of our films and photography, taking part in script read-throughs and gaining invaluable teamwork experience.

I was able to use my short film “Victim”, which I made as part of the course, to successfully secure a place in the Film and Television Production course in IADT where I’m continuing my education. For the same film I was also nominated for the Student award for Best Drama in The Royal Television Society Awards for the Republic of Ireland. Given that this was my very first film, I was extremely pleased with the nomination, and am thankful to BCFE for providing me with these opportunities.
