It was a very amazing experience, and after completing l was promoted. Now l am already a manager in a center. I'm so grateful to OC for doing a very good job in training me. I was equipped with lots of skills that my fellow colleagues, who are diploma qualified, never had.
Was really impressed with the institution and am happy with the overall course and dealings from Open Colleges staff.
I had the most easy experience with Open Colleges! I’d definitely go back to them if I choose to study again!
