“Never me again!” were my sentiments in 2022 before I started studying at SITAL College. I never saw myself going back to school; however, in 2022, based on my desire to advance in my career, I embarked upon this journey. SITAL made the transition back into school life seamless, with easy payment plans, interactive online classes, readily available resources, workshops, self-paced learning programmes, and so much more.
The support from my college was truly exceptional, from 24/7 access to support resources on the LMS, to timely reminders on upcoming deadlines, to tips, tools and workshops designed to enhance academic writing. But most importantly, the excellent student support team was always easily accessible, always on speed dial, ready to answer every question, provide guidance, and offer clarity whenever it was needed.
As one of my first courses for ABE Level 5, Innovation and Business Performance opened my eyes to the theories that were guiding and shaping the world of work around me. In each class, the lessons learnt were real and applicable; it didn’t feel like another class, it felt like a life lesson. My lecturer, Mr Nelson, was very intentional with his lesson delivery, catering to the needs of all types of learners and ensuring that we were engaged. He gave very clear, systematic guidelines and guidance. I always felt comfortable asking any questions and contributing in class. No question was a stupid question. In this class, I was part of a group which lent much support, as our discussions helped to solidify the foundation laid by Mr Nelson.
When the time came for the open-book examination, Mr Nelson, our other teachers, and the SITAL support team were available, giving timely feedback, motivation and support every step of the way. I can wholeheartedly attribute my success to prayer, support from family and friends and support from my teachers and peers at SITAL.
The formula for continuing your education and excelling?
SITAL support + tutors like Mr Nelson = success as great as Top Paper Awards.
I would like to encourage anyone thinking about continuing their education to consider studying at SITAL. You won’t regret it!
