New possibilities

What I like about my university and faculty is that I have a lot of possibilities to work on my development. I will meet here a lot of people from different countries and develop my social and soft skills, which are very important, for example in our future job. I cannot say a lot about my faculty yet, because I am here only for a few weeks, but I have very high hopes that it will be a well-spent time!

Amazing Learning Experience

Rongo University is located on the western region of Kenya. During my time there, my journey as a student was filled with interesting turns. From academic, to socio-cultural to the local political arena, my experiences there molded me to be the person that I am today. I don't regret a single moment.

Gone downhill in the last few years.

I did my BBus through Open Polytech (2007-2013) and was really happy, recommended them. However, in the last couple of years I had to do the Level 5 Certificate in Financial Services (Residential Property) and am now doing the Level 4 Certificate in Accounting, and wow has the standard gone downhill. There were so many errors in the Level 5 Certificate, they had not updated it with very important changes in the laws (of which I rolled out changes in my organisation, so I knew more than the tutor did!). Now I am doing a Level 4 Certificate and the standard of the information is poor, forms that don't work and vaguely worded questions that the 'tutor' refused to clarify. At least I didn't pay for it but the taxpayers (of which I am one) are still paying for it! Such a shame to see my alma mater go backwards like that.
