After Form Five, whether they pass their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) or not, students and parents will always think about what to do next. Should they continue studying or go to work. Most students however will opt to continue their studies. They want to have a rich and stimulating start in their life as they pursue a creative and scholarly pursuit in colleges of their choice.
Not everyone will have this option especially as its not cheap to enroll in universities and even institution of higher learning that merely offer diploma courses. Tuition costs can be exorbitant and if they are living away from home, there is the cost of housing, meals, transportation and books.
Students can opt for loans though but they usually don’t know how the repayment works and the years they may spend repaying the loan. Of course this lead to stress.
There is however a college that is worth considering especially for students who want to study and be assured of employment afterwards. This may be too good to be true but students and parents should seriously look this college up.
The college is named Optopreneur College sited in Kuala Lumpur, West Malaysia just ten minutes walk away from the famous Petronas Twin Tower. This establishment was founded by Prof. Dato’ Dr. Chin See Keat.

This can assist them to strive in the highly competitive business world. This course focuses on according students professionalism and credibility in the demanding and competitive retailing industry.
