Testimonals.
"I was delighted to have my application approved last year. It came as a wonderful surprise - I assumed my chances were slim given the number of FSU members who likely applied too. I completed a Certificate in Customer Experience. The course was fully online allowing me to complete it at my own pace within a three-month window and gave me confidence and an advantage when applying for a CX role in AIB - and I got the job! The process of applying for the bursary was very straightforward. I'd highly recommend anyone considering apply, to do it. It's a fantastic initiative." James Elford, AIB staff |
"I'm delighted to have been able to take on a Cybersecurity course with the Business Technology Academy, after receiving the bursary. It was a surprise to be selected and I was delighted - it put me into gear to pin down a course which would benefit my current job role in Security without the pressure of payment myself. This course is also accredited by the European Association for Higher Education and members of Cyber Ireland, which is brilliant. I would say it's definitely worth the time to apply for the funding!" Caroline, IT Infrastructure Services |
"I have found the FSU Bursary to be extremely beneficial in supporting my studies. It helped ease the financial burden associated with professional exams, allowing me to focus more fully on progressing through the qualification. My experience with the ACCA programme has been very positive, and the knowledge gained is directly enhancing my professional development and effectiveness in my role. I would certainly encourage other FSU members considering further education or professional development to apply. The bursary provides valuable assistance and demonstrates the FSU's commitment to supporting members in advancing their careers and skills." Ian, AIB staff |
"The bursary application was so straightforward and easy. I had been interested in HR for a number of years and had looked at the professional diploma in HR management for a couple of years so I was delighted when I got the bursary. I want to thank the FSU for this fantastic opportunity and I highly recommend other members apply for the Bursary." Emily Guerin, AIB staff |
