The teaching was very good and informative whilst also being entertaining at getting the class involved and working as a team to learn the modules. The presentation slides were very good and easy to read and learn from. Rusidha taught us very well, as well as including some real life experiences to help better explain some of the modules. The classroom was air conditioned at a comfortable temperature for learning. Overall, the learning sessions were informative and made interesting for all of us and her teaching style and methods made the modules easy to learn and to pass the quizzes at the end. I very much recommend her as a tutor for future courses.

David W.Learning Programme in Business Administration
I found the training very useful and learnt some new skills in Business accounting and refreshed my knowledge in other subjects. Rusidha was very engaging and delivered the training in a professional manner. She was very approachable and included the whole class in any discussions. She was able to answer any questions anyone had and if she was not sure she was able to signpost. I have no suggestions for the way she can improve as I was very happy with her style of teaching.

To date I have thoroughly enjoyed the course. I have found it both informative and enjoyable. The chemistry of the group is great and the delivery of the various courses has made the interaction smooth. The course lecturer has been patient and made sure that all points are understood using repetitive questioning. Barring a few technical glitches at the very beginning of the course, there is not any changes that I would make. I would definitely recommend these courses and would be happy to take part in any others.

ShobhaBusiness Admin Learning Programme
The course was highly informative and well-structured, covering key aspects of school administration and financial management in a clear and practical manner. The content was relevant and aligned with real-world scenarios, making it easy to apply in a professional setting. The instructors were knowledgeable and engaging, ensuring that complex topics were explained effectively. The videos were helpful but we should have access to the slides they show in those video. I particularly appreciated the interactive elements, such as case studies and discussions, which enhanced my understanding of financial planning and administrative processes. Overall, I found the course valuable and would recommend it to others seeking to develop their skills in school administration and finance. Thank you for providing such a well-organized and insightful program, and the teacher Chris was very good.
