From a Professional Painter to Product Builder
I’d recommend this course to anyone that wants to work in the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Manufacturing industry and is interested in building a successful career in this area. The online experience is working well for me as I study around work and family commitments.
The companies I applied for were very impressed. I am currently working in Boston Scientific manufacturing Balloon Catheters for Gallstone patients.
Aaron Bates
No Manufacturing Experience? No Problem
With two Bachelor’s degrees and 10 years work experience as a Health Care Professional, Aaron Bates had decided he wanted to change his career path. After some research, he decided that a new career in pharmaceutical manufacturing might be just what he was looking for. So, with the assistance of Springboard funding, he began GetReskilled’s Certificate in BioPharmaChem program.

From Semiconductor to Pharma Manufacturing
“Focus just as much on learning to actually educate yourself as much as passing exams.”
I found the course quite useful from that point of view – I was able to understand terms and concepts about what happened in a pharmaceutical plant. So when I constructed my CV it was useful .. when it came to the interview it was useful again to be able to talk with a bit more authority about what goes on and link it to my own background.

I am grateful for everything I learned in the biopharmaceutical course through Getreskilled. The course was easy to follow and covered everything I needed to know.

“Feel the fear but do it anyway”
GetReskilled is an excellent service, it solves the problem of the daunting task of entering a new industry. Their easy to follow modules ensure the student is learning at the correct pace and in a progressive manner. The program is broken down into manageable units, the time allocated for each module is generous, the coordinators are very knowledgeable and willing to help. No problem or question is too big or too small. A great way to retrain, up-skill and increase your potential to be the best you can be.
Feel the fear but do it anyway. You will be glad you did and very surprised how manageable it is.

” The modules were challenging”
“The Certificate in eBioPharmaChem program that I took in 2019 will be my entry to a career in the Pharmaceutical Industry, the modules were challenging but my experience with ISO in my former job helped me a lot. I would like to thank GetReskilled for giving me all their support to join the Pharma industry.
There are different kinds of jobs in the pharmaceutical industry to choose from which will suit you.
It brings me back memories of 17 years of work experience in an ISO Certified medical clinic back home and a switch of a career with our suppliers to the Pharma Industry.”

Making Car Parts to Med Device Manufacturing
I have been working in the automotive components manufacturing industry since 1992 and I recognised that I had to upskill in order to get into the medical device/ pharmaceutical industry. In 2013 I secured a six-month contractual position as a process engineer.
Adrian Fitzpatrick
From Optician to Chemical Process Technician!
Adrian now works as a Chemical Process Technician for a pharmaceutical company. He’s been doing this since October 2014 and it’s an interesting job that he enjoys. It’s also a job that he thinks is an option for more people than you might realise – his prior work experience isn’t entirely ‘traditional’.

“My name is John Ryan, living in Killarney Co. Kerry
The reasons I would recommend the course are:
- The professionalism and passion of the lecturers comes across in the tutorials which gives the student confidence and encouragement to keep on top of the course.
- The course content material is concise and interesting.
- The timing of the release of the lessons is perfect, the student moves at a comfortable pace, one step at a time.
I have been working in the automotive components manufacturing industry since 1992 and I recognized that I had to upskill in order to get into the medical device/ pharmaceutical industry.
In 2013 I secured a six-month contractual position as a process engineer with contact lens manufacturer Vistakon in Limerick and the course certainly helped with the validation terminology and protocol requirements I dealt with on a daily basis.
I have completed the Biopharmachem and received my certificate. And in a few months, I will have finished the Biovalidation certificate.
Following on from that I will complete the Manufacture of medicinal products and have the degree qualification by May 2015.”
Jason Cummins
From the Food Industry to a Production Technician
It seems to be a booming industry… it’s absolutely worthwhile investing a little bit of your own down time or private time to do this online course at home, at your leisure.
It’s worked to my advantage and I can’t praise the course and the people that run the course, highly enough because I believe without them I mightn’t have gotten into the position I was, as quick as I did. And without that course, I wouldn’t have progressed as fast as I did.

“Structurally Well Planned with the Opportunity for Practical Application”
I found the course to be interesting, structurally well planned with the opportunity for practical application of the course modules through various assignments.
I have worked in the Medical device/Pharmaceutical and Food industries and found the course to be extremely relevant to all industries.
Edel Harkins
“Highly recommended to anyone who has been out of the industry for a period of time”
“I would highly recommend anyone in my situation who has been out of the industry for a period of time to do these courses. They have contributed to my new found confidence in my existing and new qualifications, my improved interview skills and my new job!”
Bharvi Soni
“I found the course interesting, challenging, rewarding and valuable”
“Having just moved to Ireland, I was looking for a course that would help me upskill and also help me secure a job in the Pharmaceutical industry. This particular course has been a great help in achieving that. The course material was very relevant and the course coordinator was flexible and always approachable for any queries.
I found the course interesting, challenging, rewarding and valuable. After attending the course I managed to find a job in a pharmaceutical/medical device industry straight away. I am starting to apply the skills that I learnt from the course which will be a great contributor to my career. I already have, and will, recommend this course to others.”
Bryan Carig
“I got promoted from Production Operator/Process Technician into a Production Specialist.”
“First of all, I would like to thank all of the Course Leaders, Coordinators and members of Classroom Support who organised and shared their knowledge to this programme. I really enjoyed how lectures are organised. The online structure really suited me perfectly because I could do it in my own pace at home while working full-time. It was really challenging at times but it’s all worth it because topics are all related to my current role.
Having completed this 4-year Bsc Degree Course I have gained my confidence to climb up into a better position in the industry. I got promoted from Production Operator/Process Technician into a Production Specialist.
I am really grateful for the opportunity to be part of this programme. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone aiming to further progress their career in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.”
