STUDENTS’ TESTIMONY

Name: SHIN SONGYI Hi, Everyone, This is Alice Song. I am Korean. I came to Singapore in July 2011 and started to study for the Diploma in Hospitality Management at the American Center for Education. This was my first time overseas. I would like to thank the very kind lecturers and especially Ms Tina. I had good memories in ACE while studying. I made many Chinese friends at ACE. After 6 months, I found a great opportunity as a front office staff at the Orchid Hotel in Singapore with the help of Korean staff members. I have been working in the hotel since February 2012. I have been trying to do my best every day. Thanks again ACE !!

Name: Bag YoonkyungHi, my name is Yoonkyung Bag from South Korea. I studied in Australia previously. I was very excited about my new dream in Singapore when I came here. Actually, my major is Casino & Hospitality Management in a Korean College so I want to find a good job in the Hospitality line because there are such good hotels in Singapore. When I came to the American Center for Education, I got used to studying with foreigners and getting along with them. Now I’m working at the Goodwood Park Hotel. I miss being an ACE student and my GREAT lecturers. ACE gave me great confidence and good memories. I will never forget ACE !! Bye-Bye ~
