And with all the media coverage on college and education options, its not just school leavers either. People from all age groups and all socio-economic backgrounds have been busy searching for the course that will keep them busy through the Dublin winter.

So we thought we would take a look search activity in the Dublin course market - http://www.learnpipe.ie/courses/ireland/dublin/ -from two angles: the course format & the course topics.

John Dineen commented "the term courses Dublin is searched for over 90,000 times each month. While the raw data shows that it courses Dublin is the most popular course subject, we've discounted this term as the real figure is being inflated and it is hard to estimated the actual volume of IT course searches."
