Great training facilities & supportive friendly staff. Had a manager effectiveness program with Mr. Naser! Looking forward for more sessions from this guru
its sad to see the old branch destroyed like that , studied in this place in 2008 till 2012 got 2 degrees from there , best years of my life , love the place and its sad to see it like that , all the best for new places
No parking. And no sunshade in parking. This is very bad and very unprofessional which is very unfortunate because staff and teacher are really nice and great . The parking situation makes everything bad
