Part-time Courses Spring 2019

Student Stories “I learned to strategise more effectively, for example, by using analytics to target customers to generate leads and convert them into sales. I also learned to use Adobe Creative Suite, which is the industry standard for content. The course at DkIT was one of the best things I have ever done.

It elevated me to a whole new career level and already opened the doors to so many amazing opportunities.”

www.dkit.ie/parttime

“The practical real-life industry case studies were very digestible and brought the whole concept of Lean Six Sigma to life for me. My assigned project, that of looking at slow-moving product lines, with a view towards taking them out of the business without upsetting the clients and other account managers, was also a good one for me to tackle.”

Tony McKeever from Co. Wicklow Certificate in Lean Six Sigma

Lorraine Larkin from North Dublin Springboard-funded Certificate in Digital Marketing and Digital Media Management

“Your real education starts when you qualify and begin to manage the patients yourself.

In-depth assessments are not something you get to do as part of your four-year degree. I strongly believe that continuing education needs to be encouraged more by the employer and the professional nursing body.”

Susan McKenna from Co. Meath Certificate in the Assessment and Management of the Acutely Ill Adult
