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 live in Kandy and work as a Demi Chef de Partie with 4.5 years of hotel experience. Golden College helped my dreams come true.

After graduating, I worked at Shangri-La Colombo. The college remains my lifetime guide, and I am incredibly grateful for their endless support.
