More Testimonials from Accerlate Scheme cycle 3:

“I embarked on my journey with Emonovo through the Scheme, during which we dedicated three months to a combination of training and practical application. My understanding of the education sector expanded significantly, encompassing facets like sales, universities, and the intricacies of various processes. There was a continual application of our learning, and constructive feedback was shared to hone our skills and refine the quality of our work. During this time, I had the pleasure of interacting with some incredibly talented and warm-hearted individuals. The environment was supportive, and whenever I encountered any challenges, there was always someone willing to lend a hand. Post-Scheme, I found myself equipped with substantial knowledge concerning universities, their prerequisites, application procedures, and a broader understanding of the education industry. Moreover, my soft skills, such as sales and communication, were noticeably enhanced, which enabled me to thrive as an educational counselor. I now feel confident in my ability to provide valuable guidance to students, helping them navigate towards the most suitable academic field and university.”

“As for the scheme, what stood out to me was the extensive learning in sales and Counselling, including the art of persuading someone to believe in a product. It also enabled me to break through the barriers of hesitation and fear, empowering me to communicate with students in a composed and confident manner, establishing trust. Additionally, I am grateful for the support and guidance provided by Sami and Tarek. Their patience and understanding, especially when mistakes were made, contributed to a nurturing learning environment. Abdo, in particular, instilled a great deal of self-confidence in me by emphasizing that gaining experience is a process that takes time, and that it’s not a reflection of personal fault. The training sessions during this period were insightful as they allowed me to grasp the thought process of potential leads. The benefits of this scheme have been immense, to say the least, and I am extremely content with the experience. The only slight drawback could be attributed to the overwhelming influx of information, which we were not accustomed to handling. Aside from that, the entire experience was absolutely amazing.”
