兩年來,LIFE的工商管理高級文憑課程給了我增長知識並為投入未來的工作打好基礎的機會。我想要向每一位老師表達我衷心的感謝,感謝他們的支持與教導。這裡的課程非常全面,我也可以將課堂所學自如的運用於日常生活之中。例如,企業流程管理和資訊系統管理教會我如何更謹慎的做好每一個決策。在這兩年的生活豐富多彩,收穫頗豐,也已成為我人生旅途中一段重要的回憶。

  • 升讀香港理工大學專業進修學院商業(榮譽)文學士(人力資源管理)三年級
時光荏苒,轉眼間就結束了在LIFE的學習生涯。在這裡,師生相處融洽,不僅收穫了一幫志同道合的好朋友,也和老師們成為了深交知己。老師在為學生排憂解難的同時,又會關心學生近來的學習生活,跟老師接觸的時間遠多於與家人相處的時間。「一日為師,終生為父」。每當我在學習時亂了陣腳,老師總能將學習和複習的內容整理得井然有序,讓我對學習內容更加清晰明確。在學習壓力大的時候,老師又能巧妙的讓我放鬆及舒緩壓力,令我心中頓時豁然開朗。謝謝你,在我這兩年的學海中作我的指路明燈,讓我能建立長遠清晰可見的目標。
