How glad I am to have enrolled at Atlantic International University, it has been a dream come true. Years had passed by, but I did not know how I could upgrade myself without leaving my job. I had given up because I concluded that it was not possible.

Then after applying, instantly a phone came at night, and I knew it was real. I was gently guided into how I would start and enroll, but to me it seemed very difficult, but I was guided step by step until I enrolled.

I was very afraid how I was to start the program without a teacher, without asking questions and explanation, I was feeling lost. My first assignment was about adult learning (Andragogy) and children learning (pedagogy). This assignment was an eye opener, and I realize I could make it and I felt encouraged to know there are other adults who had done what I was about to do and succeeded. In addition I thought my brain could not cope with the work load, but as I proceeded, I felt my brain was awaked and there I was and there was no turning back.

My next problem was how I was to get time to read, do my assignments, and continue my full-time job, but as I started, I realized I had a lot of unused time and I made use of it.

It has been such a wonderful experience to learn at AIU. The assignments were appropriate and enjoyable and the advisor guided me with a lot of patience as I had troubles either by handing over my assignments or not fully understanding the communication channels.

I feel any person who wants to upgrade their professional skills should enroll at Atlantic International University distance learning; it is easier than you would imagine. I work at Horn (East) of Africa and the University is at Hawaii, the distance is very wide, but it has been possible.

I liked the promptness of my advisor and of the academic staff. It challenged me to be prompt with my assignments most of the times. However, I was let to do things at my own speed. I remember one time my advisor writing and telling me ‘please hand over this assignment when you are ready’. I was having trouble figuring out how to go about the assignment. That encouraged me to move on and it reminded me, no one was hurrying me. This is a great University to learn from.

After going through these courses, I have gained self-control, confidence, time management, value of time and an urge to continue learning. This I know could not have been possible in the Traditional Universities. I have improved the way I work now, and for this, in May, 2009, I was awarded a certificate of appreciation by the hospital for the contributions I have made to Nursing and Midwifery development. This is only the beginning.

Traditional schools are useless because they do not teach how to solve problems and focus only on teaching about the tools necessary to solve a problem.
