“ I started with Springvale in September 2020 to study level 1 hair and beauty. I am grateful for all the support I had during my two years here from all the staff. I have completed all my qualifications and have made great friends. I loved my time in Springvale and I am moving to further education to continue studying.”

Leoncha Donnelly – Level 1 Hair & Beauty Learner

“This is the first time I have provided a placement with Springvale in my busy salon .I am delighted to have a trainee who is so interested in the beauty industry. My trainee Rachel works with us at the salon 3 days a week and continues her training at Springvale. Rachel will be completing her level 2 diploma in beauty therapy at the end of this summer, and I hope she will continue to work with us at the salon.”

“I am a Level 1 catering student with a placement at Crumlin Community Hub. My brother, Niall, also spent time here and earned a Level 2 joinery qualification & now has a good job. I have achieved my Level 1 English, ICT and I’m currently working towards my Level 2 in Maths, English and Catering. I have found my vocational tutor & the Essential Skills tutors very helpful with improving my learning and my skills in all the areas I am working in. It is a small organisation, but it has motivated me in a way that I didn’t think possible”.

Sean O’Neill, Catering Level 1

“I have built up a good relationship with Cormac the Catering Tutor at Springvale over the past 2 years. We currently have 2 trainees on placement who we have now been offered full time employment in one of our coffee shops and one in one of our corporate catering. I am looking forward to the new year of students joining us in September”.

Colm O`Hare, Greenhouse Catering Group

“I think Springvale is a very good environment to study childcare as we have the most helpful teacher who pushes us in the right direction. She pushes us to do our best and she always makes everything fun. She makes childcare easier than people made it out to be and always makes everything fun.
