The year I spent at Greenhills College can best be described as informative, fun and confidence building. I found the tutors and teachers to be personable and eager to pass on their knowledge to those who were there to learn, and indeed went beyond this to ensure nobody was left behind. The course covered all aspects of business coupled with computer skills training, which can only be described as beneficial for anybody re-entering the workforce. I would unreservedly recommend Greenhills College for anybody who is serious about furthering themselves on a personal or job seeking level.
