Boland College Reviews

 

Good customer relationship building

A typical day whilst working at Boland College, would be getting all the learning material ready for the students. I would usually have a re-cap on the previous lesson and also add some real time information as to what is currently happening in that specific industry in South Africa and Globally. It is also important to have one-on-one conversations with the learners as to determine where everyone is on their individual Learning Curve. With the Learnerships I was also in contact with the employers of the company to ensure that their is a strong communication structure in place. The most exciting part for me about that position was to get feedback from learners after a couple of years and see how they have grown and the impact I had on their lives.

Pros: Great opportunity to gain experience regarding Education in all forms be it NCV, Nated or Learnerships. Constant learning curve.
Cons: The administration is alot so I just had to manage my time accordingly.

Doing the best I can.

I report to the Infrastructure Manager. the 2 of us oversee all Facilities related queries to all 6 Campuses spread out throughout the Boland region. We work hand in hand as with some of the campuses being close to 50 000m2 in size, it is extremely challenging. We pride ourselves as being the top TVET/FET college according to the Department of Higher Education and Training and the Infrastructure Department delivered the top rated facilities on offer in the related category.

Pros: Free education for our emmediate families
Cons: Long hours and doing 6 peoples work

Excellentlearning curve

Dealing with different customers have contributed in my customer service knowledge and has improved because I can deAL with customers professionally in any state they are facing. This was the opportunity for me to practicality what I leant at tertiary to the real world. Now I believe I have what it takes to be the best at work place. Being a student and work at the same time tough me how to multi-task even at work I am able to do the very same thing. Working as a team gives gave me a lot to learn about and such as leadership, team player, and organizer and coordinator.

Pros: Trusted
Cons: Long hours

Intrumental skills

Boland college is good TVET institution. One of the best in the region. My relationship with co-workers is good. We work well together, because my position is essentially a managerial role my direct report is the Campus Manager. Here I have learnt that keeping communication validates the credibility of your brand. it sustains it's known value from one community to another. Thus every interaction is crucial especially at the front desk and via e-mail responses. I enjoy the internal campaigns and written communication initiated internally and with the institutions external audience. Regards Yolanda
