I strongly recommend the QCT mentor programme to anyone who wants to make their career in Business and Administration. You may have knowledge but without experience it is hard to get job and Tom and his team supported me at all levels to get experience. Now, my job profile exactly matches with the knowledge and experience which I got from the QCT Mentor Programme.

If your looking for an entry level accounting role, this is the address. Not any big name institute that will cost you significant amount. Not just accounting, you'll also get to learn many other skills from Tom if you closely get to work with him

I would recommend QCT mentor program to any accounting graduate who wish to start their career. It's the best place to get the real world work exposure as I managed to land on my first job a few months after I've enrolled. Apart from real world work experience, QCT team will review your resume and provide valuable tips to make it stand out.

Mr. Tom provides practical guidance that has been motivating and beneficial to my professional development. He is very supportive of his team and is ready to mentor and share his extensive knowledge with those around him that wish to learn. I have joined Quinlan mentor programme during first year of my degree. Practical work I got from Mr. Tom and his team enhanced my accounting knowledge. During second year of my degree, I started to work as an Accounts officer and credit goes to Mr. Tom. Confidence comes from experience and I got my experience from Quinlan mentor programme. It was honor to introduce Mr. Tom and his team in my campus as everyone wants to know how I got my accounting job.
