Student Testimonials

I studied English and an IT Basic Course at Golden College. The lecturers taught us in a very friendly and approachable way, making it easy to understand and learn. Their guidance was extremely useful and helped me build my knowledge and confidence. Today, I am working in a US-based IT company, and the IT and English skills I learned at Golden College have been very valuable in my career. Thank you to all the lecturers and Golden College for their support and dedication.

I am following a Pre and Primary Teacher Training HND level course at Golden College. Before starting this course, I did not have much knowledge about teaching methods. But now, I understand the techniques that make students interested and help make teaching easier and more effective. We learned many methodologies. In the future, I plan to follow a B.Ed. degree here. I sincerely thank my madam, Shafrina Zaheer, and Golden College for giving me this great opportunity to improve my professional knowledge and skills.

I finished my hospitality course after 2022 thanks to the Principal and amazing lecturers: Chef Raj, Chef Dinesh, Sir Sampath, Mrs. Nirmali, Mrs. Ishanka, and Sir Shamil.
