The evolved attitude to work life balance was liberating.
 The quality of the lecturers was second to none.'

"Blathnaid Bergin has lectured our Certificate students on
“The Business of Food” for the past 14 years.
The response from our students has been universally positive. 
She lectures here not because she is my sister but because I consider her to be the best."

"Blathnaid’s insight, indepth knowledge and attention to detail is your secret weapon when it comes to dealing with everything from concept focus to menu design or securing finance."

"As we didn’t have a background in this area, we found specific material e.g. menus, costings and recipes, very valuable in our preparations for opening our new business."
