Why enrol with us?
Trust Academy learning model is learner centred meaning teachers allow learners to actively participate in the lessons.
This is done through giving learners work to research, this they achieve through individual or group assignments where learners are asked to research and then do presentations in class.
Sometimes teachers probe learners for answers instead of just giving then information. This discovery method allows learners to gain independence and self-confidence; qualities they will need in work environment.
Moreover, low student to teacher ratio enables students to get personal attention, additionally the institution can readily enforce protocols because of a relatively lower student population.
Learning is also practical as learners are given time to do experiments helping science students to grasp different science concepts they will be learning about. This makes it easier to remember learned information as they actually see what they learn about.
