"I was a social science graduate from University College Dublin. I wanted to pursue a career in law. I saw the diploma as the perfect opportunity as it offered the core legal subjects. I found the course enjoyable and engaging. It has given me the knowledge to go on and sit my FE1 exams. I would highly recommend a course run at the Diploma Center to others.”

 "I enrolled in the Diploma in Law to increase my knowledge of the law and to help me in my current role in an insurance claims department. The course is challenging, fast paced and intense. However, the delivery of the course is very amenable to people working with the online educational hub hugely beneficial for those unable to make the weekly lectures. The lecturers are knowledgeable and experts in their modules. Expect to be busy and challenged. Embrace the course as there are huge rewards and satisfaction to be gained from completion.”
