Testimonials

"It is instantly clear that the lecturers on IPAV’s courses are thoroughly involved in, and energised by their topics. This great enthusiasm was transmitted to the student in every lecture and we ended classes loving it and wanting more!"

Victoria Browne, Fine & Decorative Arts Certificate Course

“I found the course fascinating and really looked forward to every week. I came out of the lectures with my head spinning with information and adored the visits. The highpoint of the year was undoubtedly the trip to London which was so well organised and also great fun. I can’t speak highly enough of all the lecturers on the course the standard was so high but yet accessible to everyone.”

"When I first thought of going back to ‘top up my education’, the idea of studying again was very daunting. Nevertheless, I decided to enrol to do two courses, both of which I really wanted to do – The Diploma in Fine and Decorative Arts and the Certificate in Auctioneering & Estate Agency Practice. I asked for advice from Laura Raleigh in IPAV and she told me that it has been done successfully in the past. I am delighted to say that not only were both courses an absolute pleasure to do, but I learned so much and I can now proudly say that I graduated in both courses one of which has led me to getting a job in O'Sullivan Antiques, Francis Street, Dublin.

The staff and lecturers of IPAV have been brilliant and I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to pursue any course with them."

Jonathan Lyons

"The IPAV Fine Art courses have evolved over the years into something of an institution where students of all ages have been given the opportunity to understand a wide range of the arts - not just in Ireland but from Europe and further a field. In particular they are made aware of the need to understand and maintain our Irish heritage - which is also the mission of the Irish Georgian Society."
