Choose courses that are relevant to the times we live in
According to Natalie Rabson of Boston City Campus & Business College, it is becoming increasingly important for students to choose one of the modern courses of study that are relevant to our times.
“Education is not static and Boston therefore maintains a liaison with various industries, updates course material, and introduces new courses such as Cloud computing to keep graduates in line with the demand from the workplace,” she elaborates. “Our research, for example, showed that there was a gap for a qualification that covers skills in the social media and digital marketing fields and so the Boston B.Com. Management Marketing degree was born. This degree equips students with the knowledge and skills for career opportunities in the fields of business, management and marketing, focusing on digital marketing, social media and brand.” Rabson believes the course content as well as the flexibility it offers individuals, makes the B.Com. Management Marketing degree an increasingly popular choice with students.
Muanalo Madzunye, one of the students currently enrolled in the Boston Higher Education department, says that the flexibility is absolutely ideal for her. “Some days I do get quite a bit of work done while on other days I have the freedom to have a personal day,” she explains. “All in all, the flexibility allows me to keep my studies up to date. Studying through Boston allows me to fit in my various interests and study at my own pace.”
Another course that has received attention is Boston’s higher certificate in HIV/Aids Counselling and Management. According to Rabson, there are big pluses in favour of doing Boston’s higher certificate in HIV/Aids Counselling and Management. “Many big companies nowadays run wellness programmes and HIV/Aids support programmes for their workforces and employ qualified specialists for that. If you prefer to be your own boss, you can start offering your counselling services to companies and NGOs as an independent professional. In addition, when you complete the HIV/Aids Counselling and Management higher certificate, it becomes possible for you to gain entry into a degree – this is very useful for students that did not get matric exemption.”
Boston makes the application and registration processes so simple. Applications are done free of charge and online, and you get a response within three days. What other institution acts so speedily?
Remember to check that the right government and industry body accredits the course you’re interested in, as well as the college that is offering the course.
“The best thing is to go see a career advisor that can help you choose a good, accredited course,” says Rabson. “Boston City Campus & Business College offers over 80 dynamic study options at our campuses nationwide, so we understand that prospective students need a helping hand in choosing the course that fits them perfectly. We invite you to enquire about tertiary studies as applications for 2018 are now open.”
