Singaporean in Los Angeles Does It Again with PurpleTrain.com

Cedric Joseph was never fond of attending classes. However, when he undertook his Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computing from the University of Portsmouth via PurpleTrain.com, he was so impressed with its e-Learning facilities that he had to do it all over again.

Today, this manager with Maersk Shipping Company in Los Angeles is studying his Master of Science in Business Information Technology from the University of Wales via PurpleTrain.com once again.

As a busy professional who has children but a undying thirst for knowledge, Cedric is pleased that he can go home to his family almost everyday and does not have to waste time travelling three times a week to attend lectures.

“I can log onto PurpleTrain.com’s website at my convenience and work my studying schedule around my family and social life,” Cedric explained.

Apart from the increase in pay, Cedric is proud that he has achieved his dream of improving his qualifications – a dream that many aspire to but few actually accomplish. PurpleTrain.com is proud to help Cedric accomplish his dream.
