I enjoy attending the school, the learning experience is really good. I get to interact with the trainers and people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. I love the school.
I think the school is very nice. Teacher is very supportive and good. And also improve my English in the all English environment. I love this school!
Staffs and trainers are good and I am enjoying my course with my classmates and friends.
The trainers here are very nice and polite towards students. The way they train us are very nice and easy to understand. The environment of the college is also nice, everyone is respectful.
Going far and beyond just educating students. Its how the educators broaden my way of thinking. In a new country I used to be limited underachieving and to shy to voice my opinions , but they bridged the gap. That's how SAI has really grown my passion in Early Childhood Development. Forever grateful.
Being an international student is exciting but if I would describe my experience in one word It is life changing studying abroad is quite challenging, it is an experience of a lifetime for me. It is about learning new things, culture and enhanced my skills in cooking. The teachers and staff were very helpful, professional and hands on when it comes to teaching us new skills and knowledge. I can say that studying at SAI allowed me to gain new perspective which would benefit me in the future.
I enrolled Carpentry course at SAI last year July, since that time I feel so grateful to study here. They have really good trainers that you can be a good friends as well. The tools that they have brilliant, they have everything. It helps us along. Never regret to choose SAI to study.
