Great article in the Irish Examiner today highlighting RPL and how it can be used to progress your career.

My experience at the UK College of Business and Computing (UKCBC) has been one of transformation and enrichment. From the time I first stepped on to the campus. I was met with a warm and supportive community that is filled with such a diverse group of people, all working toward growth in education and personal growth.  With their field expertise and enthusiasm for teaching, UKCBC’s faculty are not just scholars. They are also committed educators who exert the extra effort to make sure that their students understand the ideas they teach, and they provide students with knowledge that can be practically used in the world beyond university walls for BTEC. Through their professional experiences and commitment to being teachers above all else, they gave me key perspectives and direct, useful knowledge about having a career.  The focus on practical learning at UKCBC sets it apart. The modules are how these should be and the practical skills you gain alongside the theoretical teachings really intensify your understanding of the business units.  Throughout my time at UKCBC, one of the most amazing things has been the chance to make new friends and have fun. One thing I have learned is that there are some amazing students that go here. There’s a diverse student body at UKCBC where you can meet and connect with many different students from many different cultures and backgrounds. Participating in events and hanging out in student lounges has also been a great way to meet students. There is always something fun to attend on our school’s calendar. The lasting friendships I have made in college have been one of the most important things that I will take away. The bonds I have with these people I trust will last me a lifetime. Studying at UKCBC has allowed me to meet a lot of amazing people, that I know will be my lifelong friends.  Adab Farid BTEC L3 Business #ukcbc #studenttestimonials #ukcbcalumni #StudentVoices #studentlife #businesseducation #UKCBCSuccess #DreamBig #EducationMatters #DreamBigAchieveMore #ProudEducators
