GTI Business Studies QQI Level 5 course, has given me a deeper outlook and understanding of all the concepts involved in business. GTI is simply an amazing place in which to study. The support received from both all teachers and staff is extraordinary. I believe that the education and guidance I have received from the teachers in GTI has aided and prepared me for the demanding requirements of higher Business degree. The subjects were explained in details and easy to follow, with a blend of theory and practical modules used in a Business life such as Sage Quick Pay and TAS books which have given a knowledge on how a business operates. Finally GTI has provided me with a solid foundation for my future plans. On completing this program I decided to continue to study business and applied for the Bachelor Business Studies in GMIT. I would strongly recommend GTI as a place to go for further education. I really loved the course and found the study environment in GTI calm and friendly.
