Testimonials
Read what our past students have to say about their experience of LOETB Abbeyleix.
“The two years I have spent in LOETB Abbeyleix have been amazing. As a mature student I was nervous to be returning to education, especially with so many young people. Both the other students and the tutors made me feel so welcome and loved, part of a community.
The tutors were so supportive and gave me the courage to dream big. Now I have an advanced entry place in NCAD Textile Art & Artefact, a dream come true!”

“My goal for this course was to further learn and understand science subjects and science practices. Having now finished the course I can honestly say that I’ve accomplished that and so much more. The support and care provided to students in LOETB Abbeyleix is second to none and I believe without the generosity of the other students and staff alike I would not have completed this course. If I could urge anyone to do a PLC I would, as I now feel ready and prepared to tackle any challenge that comes my way as I head towards third level education.”
