Completing a cert in New Media Production and also having the privilege to tutor at NMTC gave me the skills and confidence to progress onto a Masters degree in Creative Music Technology at Bath Spa University, UK. I am very grateful for my time spent at NMTC, working in a very creative environment with warm and friendly people including some amazing artists that I still collaborate with on projects to this day.

The excellent Portfolio Preparation course and Interview Skills training at NMTC enabled me to secure a place on my first choice degree option – BA (Hons) Architecture at Birmingham City University straight from my Leaving Cert. Their specialist tutors helped me customise my portfolio into a high-spec digital format.
