‘With the training,I received from First Polymer I got to choose a new career path in the Medical Device industry. The advice and support I received from them was incredible. Overall it was a great experience for me and I am delighted to be associated with First Polymer who are the leading professionals in the training industry’ ( July 2016).

“A Big thanks to Catherine and Steve for the opportunity to attend Injection Moulding Module 1 and Module 2. The course was very well designed and Steve delivers the programme at a high standard.Also, after completing the modules Catherine and Steve were able to recommend me, which helped me to get a job in a few months’ time in the Polymer Industry.I would highly recommend the First Polymer Training to anyone willing to progress in the Polymer Field”. (June 2016)

“I would like to say a huge thank you to the First Polymer Training Team  for their support, assistance and guidance while I attended my Injection Moulding and Manufacturing for Jobseekers course. The training provided me with a great opportunity to obtain a full-time position in employment of which I will always be grateful. I would encourage other candidates to attend and participate in their future courses. Thanks again”. (December 2015)

“An Excellent course, very worthwhile for anyone working in the plastics industry. Delivered by a tutor with outstanding knowledge of polymers and with the industrial experience to match it”. – Plastics Material Selection Trainee November 2015

Having faced a career change in the middle of an economic downturn, I lost some of myself confidence and needed a major boost. The area of polymer technology was of interest to me as it does play an important role in the manufacturing sector at present. I have recently completed my First Polymer Training course where I achieved a level 5 qualification in the Plastic Materials and Processing (Medical Device).The administration staff and lecturers at First Polymer Training center are first class and the course material was delivered in an engaging, interesting and supportive way. I have recently been offered a job by a medical device company in Limerick and I look forward to put what I have learned into practice. (Jobseeker, 2015)

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Stephen, yourself and the First Polymer team for all the help and support, both financially and academically, over the past couple of years as this played a vital part of my securing permanent employment in the injection moulding industry (July 2015)

A Big thanks to you, Catherine, Edel, and Steve for the opportunity to attend and the warm hospitality shown and of course the high Quality of instruction Delivered. Hope to see you all again. Again many thanks. (Injection Moulding Module 1 training course, 20th – 23rd July 2015).

“I came across FPT about three years ago. Being a Job Seeker at the time I was able to do short courses at FPT for free. The Modules were very intense but well designed and suited me perfectly allowing to refresh the knowledge I had, and of course learn a lot more (on Plastic Processing in particular). FPT Staff helped me to make some useful connections with people from the Academic Sector and the Industry. I imagine my story would be different if it was not for Catherine Collins: eventually, I got a Job that I am very happy about.””Personal advice to Job Seekers: get out there and do some courses at FPT. Learn more, meet successful people, make connections and get inspired. It can help you to start your new career.” ( Irina, 2015).

Just a quick note to thank you for my placement on the two week moulding course, I have found it to be a very informative course and will definitely come back to complete modules 3 and 4 as soon as I can,  Steven’s presentation of the course was excellent, I have no doubt that it will significantly enhance my job prospects. (‘Jobseeker Trainee July 2013)

Very informative, excellent presentation, great industrial examples – would highly recommend this course to others in the industry. (Trainee May 2013)
