Not only are our courses less than a year-long, but they\u2019re also the best and most practical in the industry, providing you with the most up-to-date knowledge and insight to advance your career – immediately.
And the beauty of Innopharma Education courses with Springboard is that they are completely free. In fact, we have a number of them starting this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take the Level 8 Higher Diploma in Biopharmaceutical and Medical Device Manufacturing course in Dublin, Cork & Limerick. This can be completed in just 12 months. It consists of a series of scientific, technological, quality, improvement and personal development classes designed and delivered by highly experienced lecturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the practical modules will be carried out in the TU Dublin – Tallaght Campus pilot facilities. And don\u2019t worry if you miss a class. Innopharma provides online learning and support through the use of Moodle. Participants can obtain information online if required. Those who return to work during the duration of the course can still avail of the online option and chose to complete the lectures and sit their final exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s more, you will get all the support and individual attention that you need through our coaching and mentorship workshops, which have a specific focus on individual assessment and improvement.
We\u2019re also aware that those who take our courses not only want to up-skill and acquire vital industry knowledge but find a job once the course has been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, we emphasise job-seeking skills and encourage networking in the industry \u2013 which past students will attest has lead time and time again to employment. Science graduate Ronan Miskell, for example, was finding it difficult to break into the pharmaceutical\/medical device industry before he completed a course with Innopharma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe biggest obstacle was my lack of experience and industry-focused knowledge,\u201d he says. \u201cTaking part in the course provided me with the leverage to break into the medical device sector.\u201d Ronan now works full-time as a Product Builder in an entry-level position within a well-established medical device company \u2013 thanks to completing the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was taught how to make a lasting impression with a professional CV and how to succeed in an interview,\u201d he says of the course. \u201cThe staff were very knowledgeable, extremely friendly, and willing to help. Throughout the interview process, I was given guidance and advice which ultimately resulted in a successful interview and a job offer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laura Keogh, who now works as a Quality Assurance Regulatory Affairs Assistant, is another who has benefitted hugely from completing an Innopharma course. She started studying after being unemployed for some time and says it was instrumental in getting her back to work. \u201cThe subjects, the terms and processes used in the industry were all covered and explained very well,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe lecturers were extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and you could see some of them were really passionate about their field of expertise,\u201d she adds. \u201cThis was particularly useful for my interview skills as I now knew the key terms and phrases when I was asked about them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best of all, the information she acquired has helped her with her day-to-day job. \u201cI come across the information I learned in the course on a daily basis,\u201d she says. \u201cI do feel much more confident than I would have in starting a new job with no previous experience in this industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
