Parent's View on Learning Experience through PurpleTrain

Like every parent, Mr & Mrs M. Iqbal strived their best in choosing the best institution and the best programme for their children. PurpleTrain.com are honoured to have received a letter of appreciation from the parents in sharing their views on e-learning and how e-learning has affected their lives and the way they managed their children.

Below is the email from Mr & Mrs M. Iqbal to PurpleTrain.com:-

"It gives us an immense pleasure on the marvelous success of our son, Mohsin Iqbal. He achieved first position securing First Class Honours Degree in the final exam. Our daughter, Rabia Iqbal has also graduated in the same batch and secured second-class in the exam. At this juncture, we would like to add our comments regarding distance learning programme offered by PurpleTrain. Like every parent, we endeavored our best to choose the best institution and the best programme for their education. We have only two children, Mohsin Iqbal and Rabia Iqbal who luckily remained class fellows throughout. So, we were in a position to take care of their studies dedicatedly. We always kept close liaison with their teachers and the institutional heads right from their basic education to the higher education. That is why even the teachers of their childhood still remember us. But when in consultation with both of them, we chose PurpleTrain for their third year's degree course, B.Sc. (Honours) in Computing to be imparted through University of Portsmouth, UK, we changed our habit of supervising them and left them to the mercy of PurpleTrain. Against our previous habit, we never even e-mailed to anyone in PurpleTrain. With the grace of God Almighty, both of them performed well and proved beyond our expectations. We always saw them involved in their assignments and routine work assigned by PurpleTrain. We have noticed that they gained a lot of confidence by learning through this type of programme. PurpleTrain really kept them involved and groomed them to work independently. It was a silent but pleasant change in their style of work. One of the surprising achievements of Mohsin Iqbal is that, as disclosed by PurpleTrain, even the on-campus students of the University of Portsmouth do not show such marvelous results. This proves that the quality of education for online students does not lack any aspect. Just after graduation, both of them got very good jobs and are performing really well at their work places. We wish prosperous future for PurpleTrain and the University of Portsmouth. We would never forget the role played by these institutions in building up confidence, character, habit of hard work and other good qualities. Regards. Mr. & Mrs. M. Iqbal
