"Frances and Joan from Lir are fantastic at what they do. They are there to help whenever and wherever possible. They make online courses as enjoyable as if they were classroom based. As I work in an office environment I could relate to the course content on a daily basis. The visuals and images just help in the explanations rather than all just text. The feeling of ease and relief as I was quite nervous about online courses. The live tutorial, as any queries or concerns were sorted out during the class - everything was explained so well Just cannot fault the delivery or content of the course and would recommend Lir Business Services & Training Centre for any course. I would like to thank Frances, Joan and all the Lir team. They make online courses so much more enjoyable with great content and the ability to have queries and concerns addressed. I will be taking more courses with Lir. Jacinta Office Administration ."

"It was so much better completing these two courses together. They were the last two I had to do to get my Major Award, so happy to have them completed. I completed the course using Teams and the Lir e-Learning Hub and found they both made it easy for me. I would recommend this course."
