Hibernia College Reviews 

This review relates to a job application process with Hibernia College, not to any of their courses or programmes.

I was approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn for a role within their team and progressed through a five-stage interview process, including a final in-person presentation. I invested a significant amount of time preparing for each stage.

After the final round, I received no communication whatsoever. No call, no email, and no update to confirm the outcome.

To put a candidate through five stages and then fail to provide even a basic response is extremely unprofessional and shows a lack of respect for the time and effort involved.

A simple follow-up would have taken minutes. Instead, I was left with no closure after a lengthy and demanding process.

Based on my experience, the recruitment process is poorly managed and lacks basic communication standards.

I work at the college and the support it gives the staff is terrible. The staff are expected to support students when the staff aren't supported at all. The pandemic has been awful for staff and students. It is rip off fees for substandard courses.

I started this course unsure to be honest. I fell unwell during the course however with mental health so I talked with the director about going away and coming back to finish it at a later date (under doctors recommendations). They would not allow this and insisted I pay the 10 grand again. In the end I had to drop out for health reasons and the was no recompense. It wouldn't have cost them anything to let me finish the course out and return to it at a reduced rate in the future but they were non compliant to any suggestions or offerings. So for me, it was a complete waste of money, time and effort. I am better now and on good medecine regularly and probably will be for the rest of my life but I cannot afford to spend another 10,000 which is a lot of money when you cannot work on top of that and have to fund yourself for the two years so it was a complete loss for me except for two insignificant certificates that I was awarded at the time for my effort up to then. I would not recommend it and I always got the feeling that it is a money making entreprise.
