Diploma in Packaging Testimonial

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our highly anticipated Diploma in Packaging Technology course for 2024. As we embark on this exciting journey, we invite you to explore the firsthand experiences of our recent graduate Tom Fitzpatrick, through his insightful testimonial.

I’ve had a varied career, all Print and Packaging related and I have worked for Brand Agencies, Print and Repro Companies, Heinz Packaging as well as founding my own packaging design business, Link Design Studios.

I had always worked in Packaging but I had no formal qualification. I had a plan to pivot my career.  I chose the Diploma in Packaging Technology with DPP Skillnet as it was only one academic year and I had great recommendations about the course content, the lecturers and of the opportunities It could bring.

My plan worked as I believe that my qualification in Packaging Technology, globally recognised and accredited by TU Dublin, was a key factor in my career progression into Packaging Sustainability role with a global Retail Group.

We live a fast paced world of where packaging development and sustainability requirements are ever evolving. The diploma also had the advantage for me to network with and meet like-minded Packaging Professionals which is a key part to help me further develop my knowledge and experience.
