Business Studies Testimonial:
Ellen Guerin
“I found the course in EVC to be of great benefit to me. It helped me achieve my aim of studying for a Business degree. The subjects I studied, along with the continuous assessment prepared for my studies in WIT and are certainly making my first year here easier. I found the work experience component allowed me to pinpoint the area of Business that interested me. I enjoyed my time in EVC and would have no hesitation in recommending it.”
