My experience at Texila American University was good and I received so much support from the faculty during my project as well as my assignments. The structure of the course enabled me to be practical and hence enhanced my ICT skills. The online facilities especially during my examinations were fantastic and no difference from the physical traditional examinations, the same high standards applied.
Mr Tabila Mazhamo
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
The experience has been excellent during my time of study. I have always found lectures very friendly and very supportive. I’ve never had a wrong time every time I’m stuck with my assignment or project assignment. I would go to different lectures that will be able to give me advice on how best I can do the assignment. Overall the experience has been fabulous. I’ve learned a lot and I wish in the future to do more studies at the university
Mr Reagan Tembo
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
My experience in this school is amazing, maybe the most important of my life: I enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and am a Fourth-year student. Studying at Texila American University has been really important and perfect for me. Moses, Aaron, Sandra, and Carol all were my student mentor, they encouraged me on how to go about my studies and how I can pay my tuition fees by referring students to Texila and gaining rewards. So far, I have referred three students and they have both started their programs. Their learning material is clear and straightforward. Their support should continue even after my graduation. When am stuck at work, I will be emailing or call them for some questions.
