Testimonials
Read what our past students have to say about their experience with the Nursing Studies course at Abbeyleix FETC
My journey in LOETB Abbeyleix has been amazing; surrounded by lovely people and a beautiful environment. Throughout this course I was supported and encouraged by teachers and they were always there to help me and answer my questions. Doing this course with my classmates made it even more enjoyable; we worked together, supported each other and laughed together. I feel ready now to move on to college. I highly recommend studying here in LOETB Abbeyleix.
