Operating since 2003, Kingston Academy as an autonomous professional body based the UK, which was established to promote and foster state-of-the-art knowledge and expertise in all facets of management and technology field of education, training and development for the global educational arena, has been a great advantage of learners across the world such as Dr. Bhasi. As a wife, mother and a working adult, Tan Ee Hui Telvina hailing from Singapore was looking for a UK Postgraduate Diploma advanced entry Programme to enter a MBA Top-up from the UK that offered the flexibility and support for her busy schedule. Kingston's online Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management fit the bill. "Although, I did not need to go to class nor attend tutorial support at a certain time as I could watch lecture videos at a time convenient for me. Taking blended learning course work was definitely a challenge at first. However, I quickly grew accustomed to posting on discussion boards and interacting with my classmates online," says Telvina, to whom it was also reassuring to discover just how many individuals were going back to finish diplomas begun before life interceded.

"Instructors were quick to respond and ready to assist whenever I needed," recounts Telvina, who graduated in a Postgraduate Diploma from Kingston and a MBA Top-Up from Anglia Ruskin University.
