Testimonial
“I started my journey of upskilling with KWETB in Athy in September 2018, I decided I wanted to achieve my level 6 award in Childcare. With the help of KWETB I have achieved this, during my time attending the centre I got great support from my tutor Gill she has helped me succeed in order to obtain my award. It was great working as a class we worked together and supported each other. My experience of KWETB in Athy was a positive experience and if I ever do decide to upskill again in my career I would happily do so in Athy”
