Eriona Hasanaj
Kirklees College welcomes a range of students from different backgrounds and countries. One such student is Eriona Hasanaj, who started studying ESOL at Kirklees College, and after completing a Level 1 course, progressed on to the Level 2 Business course at the Springfield Sixth Form Centre.
Eriona migrated two years ago to the UK with a desire to gain a qualification in Business. She aspires to eventually go to university to complete a law degree and pursue a career as a solicitor.
Speaking about her experience at the college, Eriona expressed how easy it was for her to integrate into college life, commenting:
“The online resources are really useful and easy to use. I felt comfortable in the college environment and supported by the teachers. I was impressed with facilities available to students and the fact that the centre is close to home is also a bonus.”
Eriona mentioned that the most valuable experience she has undertaken on the course so far is working on a project using Lloyds Bank as a case study, where students had to analyse their campaigns before presenting the findings.
Eriona also expressed that the course has given her a massive confidence boost and helped her to improve her communication and writing skills.
When asked what advice she would give to students in a similar position or wanting to study this course, Eriona said:
“I would recommend this course as it has helped to improve both my confidence and knowledge. The teachers, resources and overall centre are all amazing and you won’t regret coming here. If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve anything set your mind to.”
Wasif Ali
Wasif Ali is currently studying Level 2 Business at the Kirklees College Springfield Sixth Form Centre based in Dewsbury. Originally from Hong Kong, Wasif came to the UK a year ago with the goal of gaining a qualification in business. His passion for business stemmed from watching entrepreneurial TV shows, such as ‘The Apprentice’.
Through exploring all different aspects of business on his course, Wasif has decided to embark on a career in Human Resources. When asked why he chose to study at the Springfield Sixth Form Centre, Wasif spoke about how he is able easily to travel to and from the centre and is easily accessible via public transport. Wasif praised the extensive resources at the centre, including the eBooks available through the library online resources.
Wasif’s communication skills have vastly improved since starting the course. When discussing how he has gained confidence through this course, he said: “When I first started Kirklees College, I wasn’t sure what to expect but the teachers support and resources available have helped to develop my confidence and made me feel like choosing to study business was the right decision for me.”
After finishing the Level 2 Business course, Wasif plans to progress on to the Level 3 course at Kirklees College, before eventually going to University to study Business Economics or Human resources.
When asked what advice he would give to all future students looking to study at the Kirklees College, he suggested: “Test the waters when you first start your course. If you feel like the course might not be for you, you can always swap on to another course. There are lots of options available!”
