What Our People Say
Celeste Williams
MANCOSA Mentorship Programme 2022 Mentee
"The MANCOSA Mentorship Programme 2022 taught me to take responsibility for my life. It has provided me with various simple tools one can use to face obstacles head-on and to count one's blessings. Hearing what other people have gone through also came as a reassurance that life is not easy for anyone no matter what position we find ourselves in, there are different challenges that we face continuously which require our attention to deal with them. On this journey, I have learned to stop and process life in the present and also get out of my comfort zone to experience growth genuinely. One of the experiences I treasured was the connection with like-minded people who all want to become a better version of themselves to serve a greater purpose in life. This was good energy to feed off and spread to others."

Student in Postgraduate in Risk Management: YEAR 1 – Semester 2:
"I am excited to give my testimonial about my experience with MANCOSA as a recent graduate. MANCOSA has been a remarkable learning experience that has given me the abilities, information, and self-assurance to succeed in my work.
The MANCOSA curriculum is well-organized and pertinent to the present state of business. The programs are created to give students a comprehensive understanding of the many facets of business management, such as finance, marketing, human resources, and operations. My ability to apply theoretical ideas to practical situations was greatly aided by the case studies, group discussions, and practical projects, which helped me hone my analytical and problem-solving abilities.
I needed a curriculum that would fit into my hectic schedule as a working professional, and MANCOSA's part-time and online choices gave me the flexibility I required. "
