Q) Do you work full-time or part-time and where?

Q) Why did you choose RDI?

A) I chose RDI because of the courses they offer. They have branches around the world. Study at your own time, chat with your fellow students online, and all the packages that comes with it.

Q) Did you always think you'd be studying for your qualifications?

A) I have always wanted to study

Q) Any adversity or issues along the way?

A) Business Management is wide and you have to touch other areas as in Accounting, Marketing, HRC etc. It's a lot of tasks and demanding; but I like it!

Q) How has Higher Education changed your career, personal life or you as a person?

A) I had a business of my own but couldn't manage it, but with what I have learnt so far with RDI, I think I might go back to business again.

Q) What do you believe are the main benefits of distance learning?

A) It's convenient. You can study anywhere in the world. Your age doesn't matter. Gain a certificate after studies - not different from full-time students.

Q) What will your qualification give you and what is next?

A) My qualification (HND) will earn me a good salary and a higher position in an organisation, may even have my own business. I may decide to enrol for a degree course and after that a Master's. Who knows!

Q) Anything you'd like to add?

I enjoy studing with RDI and would encourage other people to do so.
