"I couldn't have found a better platform for doing Courses or Modules, they are straightforward, easy and quick to complete. Absolutely perfect for those struggling with week-to-week classes as Lir offer a series of 'Self-Paced' modules you can do under your own time outside of the classroom environment."

"I was new to learning as a self-paced learner, but I had an induction video with Frances who explained to me where everything was on the LIR dashboard. The videos and pdf notes were a godsend in learning all the intricate tools available on Word. I would recommend this course if you need a refresher in using Word in an office setting."

"Lir Business Centre is great for anyone wanting to do their coursework online, I'll be recommending them to anyone that may need an online course towards a major award. Although i very rarely reached out for help they were very accommodating if i did have questions, the structure of the self-pacing course is great. I didn't have to wait for an assignment to be approved before i could move on to the next one and i loved that."

"“I studied Word Processing at Lir Business Centre, under the guidance of Frances and Joan. I work in a busy office so I had some administrative knowledge going into this course already, but I felt I should up-skill on certain areas, mainly mail merge. I had great support from Frances and Joan and I'm glad to have done the course. I would advise anyone looking for a little bit more training in whatever field they may already work in, or choose to work in, to consider Lir Business Centre.
