What our students say:
"I chose PurpleTrain.com because of its flexibility to study online so that I need not restrict myself within the traditional in the classroom lecture mode. (This is great, isn’t it?) Their dedicated lecturers provide me with everything I need which includes notes, useful URLs and online discussion room, which boosts my confidence in completing my degree online! I just couldn’t imagine I would be completing my degree online but here you go!

I am doing it and it is really wonderful!"

Mr Chan Kwok Chung
University of Portsmouth BSc(Hons) in Computing student

When he received good news of attaining a First Class Honours degree: “I never thought that I could do that well. I really owe part of my success to the facilitators and course mates. I must say without them, attaining my goal would have been possible but more arduous. I must really thank them for their patience.”
Mr Goh Wai Kit, First Class UOP (Hons) graduate

“The Chat session allows me to ask questions and receive replies instantly. I saved so much time because I could also ‘multitask’ while chatting! With the Bulletin Board, it gave me a chance to post questions at any time, in fact this board allowed those ‘shy’ students to ask questions which they might not ask when they meet face-to-face with the lecturer. Most of all, I received quick responses from all my facilitators. Although I was quite an active student on the bulletin board and there was a time when I was absent for a few days. I actually received private emails from facilitators who gave me their full support, encouragement and motivation! I was very touched by their commitment to students."
Ms Lim Wai Wai, First Class UOP (Hons) graduate
