Testimonials I would like to express my gratitude for being once of Oxford College. I feel very privileged to have been studying in Oxford College. I have developed skills that I believe are helping me with my career. I truly appreciate and value everything I have learned from the brilliant instructors in Oxford College. Every day in the college was adding valuable skills and experience to me. Even after the graduation and the college continue giving for all graduate. Thank you for the support and excellent learning experience. Yahia Kamel I believe that education plays an important role in people’s lives, especially mine. Having an education is like drinking a glass of water. You need water to survive. Hence you need education to make it in life. Because without it you don’t have anything. You will not go far without it and at Oxford College is where I got this opportunity. As a QA/QC instructors at this college. Without the incredible support of them especially our QA/QC instructor Mohammed Zamiruddin I would not be here today with this level of confidence for finding my favourite job. The endless encouragement and invaluable learning have changed me forever. This college has very good academic reputation. According to my research most of the college’s graduates get good jobs. Oxford College is also assisting us in preparing for a career in particular field. In a vast majority of highly specialized jobs, if one does not have a college degree, there is a little to no possibility of securing a career in that chosen field. Oxford College gave us the tools to succeed in the field of our choice. These tools would not be available to most people who do not attend college. At the end I would like to thank all my instructors for being such a huge support through my experiences! I couldn’t have made it without you all. Sincerely, Hakimeh Sharafi
