Mohit Madan - Sales and Marketing Manager

Hello everyone, my name is Mohit Madan, I just want to share a little achievement/story of my life in New Zealand.

Actually coming to another country by self is a big challenge and a big risk, and In Indian youngsters it’s a trend to go abroad for studies, and I was one of them to come to New Zealand for studies and make my rest of life wealthy.

I Landed New Zealand 19 th August 2008, I cannot forget that date because it was one big turn for my life, I came NZ on a student visa for one year, I have to say I got awesome support from my school – school of business and government(SBG). My first week I started looking for part-time work, but it was hard for a person with no experience.

HARSIMRAN SINGH

“I am Harsimran Singh, student of 661 Diploma in Management at SBG (School of Business and Government). When I made plan for my further studies, I went through each and every aspect of all the colleges’ website in New Zealand. Somehow I saw the details and courses which SBG College was offering. I went through every detail of all the courses of the college and in the end I found the most suitable and outstanding offer, the 661 option course.

This option is to study 6 months in India and 6 months in New Zealand. I felt it to be the best because in this the student has to complete half of the study in their own country, by living with their own people. Same as in my case, being at my home country, I got full assistance from the staff of SBG and I fi nished my study of India without any problem. At SBG, I had the privilege to be taught by tutors, who really cared about my academic progress, and I’ve benefi tted from this immensely.

Moreover, after coming to New Zealand, I did not have to work part time for a long period of time as I fi nished my studies in just 6 months and started doing Full time work in my own profession. Now I earn double money than I used to earn during the period of studies. After doing Hotel Management from India, I did Management course from SBG, which really refi ned my skills and talents and all this has helped me getting a job which is really a good start for my career.

Studying in SBG I have cultivated good study habits and also further enriched my attitudes towards academic achievement which compel me towards attaining higher goals and taught me to use the best of my talents in everything I do.”
