PurpleTrain Brings Learning To The World

Since PurpleTrain's official launch in May 2000, we have grown and developed rapidly into a leading e-learning service provider. Due to the rapid growth and pervasiveness of the Internet, PurpleTrain now has a global pool of students.

Currently, PurpleTrain has an online community of over 40,000 users globally, reaching countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Korea, Pakistan, China etc. Our community of online students are a special breed, made up of independent and courageous individuals who are among the pioneers to have taken the momentous step towards e-learning.

These students have greatly benefited from the enriching e-learning experience. Some of them have written to us to express their utmost gratitude to PurpleTrain for making it possible for them to obtain an internationally-recognised qualification without leaving their hometowns. E-learning has indeed changed the lives of many of our students.

Here are two of the numerous students who have written in to us, from India and Pakistan respectively, expressing their appreciation and gratitude for PurpleTrain.com:



Feedback from Berjes Eric Shroff, graduating student of PurpleTrain's University of Portsmouth, Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computing

Dear PurpleTrain,

I am just writing this note to say a big Thank You to PurpleTrain and Informatics for bringing to us the BSc (Hons) in Computing course in India. I was the first student in India to join this course and (hopefully) will be completing it by this June.

Are you planning to introduce a MSc in Computing as well? If you are, please do inform me, since studying with Purple Train was a wonderful experience. PurpleTrain's support staff and lecturers were a wonderful help and great to interact with.

Once again, thank you for making this Degree possible for us whilst sitting in India.

Regards,
Berjes Eric Shroff
India




Feedback from Muhammad Athar Shafiq, Graduate of PurpleTrain's University of Portsmouth, Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computing

Doing the final year of my degree at PurpleTrain.com was a wonderful experience. My education was accessible to me at virtually any place in the world. The thing I liked most about the cyber campus was there were no restrictions of time and place. I could log on at any time from anywhere and continue with my lessons.

All in all I'd like to say that the final year of my degree at PurpleTrain.com has been a wonderful and exciting experience and being one of the first graduates from this program feels absolutely great."
