Course
Aspire Institute Diploma of Applied Business Management
Why did you choose Aspire?
I chose Aspire because I wasn’t sure if I could commit to a full three year degree. I appreciated that with the Aspire diploma I would be able to go straight into the second year of a degree if that was what I chose to do after I had finished, while having already done 600 hours of industry training through the diploma.
What was the best part of Aspire?
The best part of studying through Aspire was the industry training component. It has allowed me to become more prepared for my future career and it also helped me make valuable contacts and connections in the industry in which I choose to work.
What was your favourite subject and why?
My favourite subject was definitely Marketing as it allowed me to complete an assignment on a topic of my choice, which is always fun. Everything that I learnt in the class has also been a great help in my new job at Ray White.
What was your Aspire timetable like?
My Aspire timetable worked really well for me as I was able to fit all my subjects into just two days, it left me plenty of time during the week to complete my industry training while I was still studying.
What do you do in your spare time?
In my spare time I love to hang out with my family and friends, try new restaurants and explore new places both in the local area and all around NSW.
Which co-curricular activities did you participate in?
During my time at Aspire I was also able to participate in the Netball team, this was a great opportunity for me to meet some more people and make new friends that I would not have had the chance to otherwise.
What is your dream job?
My dream job is to be a real estate agent. The industry training that Aspire offers has helped me kick start my career and has allowed me to make valuable connections and contacts in the property industry.
Would you recommend Aspire?
I would recommend Aspire to anyone looking to study a business management diploma or degree because Aspire has allowed me to fast track my diploma to one year, I’ve made so many friends and it has also enabled me to get my job here at Ray White.
