Testimonials

I joined the Seychelles Business Studies Academy in February 2019, with much fear and doubt and, though my first year went quite smoothly, I didn’t feel that I was working to my full potential. Then, during my 2^nd and 3^rd years, the global outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic caused further challenges. However, since childhood I always believed that it is in our darkest times that we discover our greatest strengths.

I do admit that I could never have done it on my own as living far away from my family who are my biggest support system was not easy. The enormous love, care and support from lecturers, staff and classmates paired with a great amount of determination and faith is what kept me going. Today I am a proud graduate of the academy with a Diploma in Accounting and Finance. I was quite surprised when I was told that I was also one of the 7 top performers of my cohort. This just goes to show that you can truly achieve anything once you’ve set your mind to it.

I believe that my journey has only just begun. SBSA was the first stepping stone and it was one that was truly worth it! I will always remain grateful for having the opportunity to study at the Academy as it has not only allowed me to gain professional skills and knowledge in my future field of work, but it has also taught me that “It doesn’t matter what obstacle you encounter in life, a positive mindset will always lead you to victory.”
