Meet the graduate who earned her qualification as a full-time mum!
Shereece and her son enjoy a trip to Hawaii in 2019.
Study From Home is one of the most flexible learning options available, which is especially useful for anyone who is busy working full-time jobs, unable to study on campus, or, like Shereece, is a very busy full-time mum.
She managed to find the time to answer a few quick questions from us about her time studying with us!
Why did you choose ITC Study From Home?
I chose to study with ITC as it was the best choice for me as a full time working mother. And it was convenient for me to be able to do my study whilst working and doing my daily mum duties.
Where do you currently work and what does your job entail?
I am currently working for the Taranaki Air Ambulance, doing marketing.
Working for the Taranaki Air Ambulance & having a son must be busy, what does your typical routine look like as a busy working/studying mum?
As you can imagine, a working mum’s life is super crazy, so adding studying to the mix for me was beyond what I thought I could do. But thanks to ITC I’ve been able to do it all.
Do you have any words of wisdom for other mums out there wondering if they should Study From Home?
If it’s definitely something you want to do, then you need to do it. As mums our lives are built around our kids, and we use that as an excuse to forget about what we want. But studying from home is perfect for you, I’ve been able to work it around my already hectic life without being up all night having to do it. So all you mums sitting on the fence, now’s the time to do something for you.
What are your career aspirations or what are you excited about using these qualifications for in future?
I’m looking forward to the day I get to make use of my study, and work in the travel industry.
Want to study around your busy lifestyle?
For Shereece, the challenge was to study while being a full-time mum. For others, it might be that you’re caring for other family members, or that you’re committed to a full-time job. Or perhaps you’re simply based outside of a main centre so can’t attend campus.
Whatever the reason, Study From Home makes it possible to earn a valuable qualification in travel and tourism even when you have other commitments. You can study with us full-time or part-time, and you can do it all from the comfort of your own home whenever it suits your schedule.
If you’re unsure if this form of study is right for you, you can do a FREE trial to see exactly what it would be like to log on and complete your coursework. And keep in mind, you’ll also be fully supported by our friendly and knowledgeable team of tutors, who will always be around to answer your questions and encourage you on your learning journey.
Plus, our Employment Consultants are also on hand to help you find a job in the industry!
