My Metis College MBA Journey: A Transformational Experience
My journey with Metis College began with a simple yet life-changing email—an invitation to consider applying for their January 2025 MBA cohort. Intrigued by the opportunity and always open to challenges that foster growth, I swiftly submitted my application. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary.
From the very beginning, the Admissions Team, particularly Sam Carbos and Ge Estabas, showcased an unmatched level of support. Within just three days—a turnaround time that felt almost surreal—I had received my official admission letter, virtual student ID, and access to the study portal. This efficiency and commitment to prospective students set tone for what was to come.
Shortly after my admission, I had the privilege of attending the Metis College Open Day event, "Sips and Scholars," at Athena Offices in E Square, Nairobi. This event was an eye-opener, allowing me to engage with fellow Executive Partners, gain deeper insights into the MBA structure, and explore how the program could be tailored to align with my professional journey. Chino Burayag, the Admissions Manager, played a pivotal role in making this session impactful. His patience in addressing our questions and his generosity—evident when he rewarded me with a Metis College hoodie for posing a particularly insightful question—left a lasting impression. Most importantly, I was reassured that the program was designed for working professionals like myself, offering a flexible learning approach that enabled me to focus on one course at a time without compromising my work commitments.
As the program commenced, the learning experience exceeded my expectations. The first plenary session of our course on Effective Relationship Management was well-organized, with study guides provided in advance by the diligent teaching assistant, John Bornea. The session was expertly facilitated by Trisha Roque-Oreta, who struck the perfect balance between concept introduction and interactive discussion. Unlike traditional lecture formats, this approach fostered engagement, ensuring that every participant actively contributed to the discourse.
A particularly standout aspect of the Metis MBA experience is the T-groups—small discussion groups where students reinforce their learning by sharing insights, asking questions, and engaging in peer-led discussions. This collaborative approach shifts the learning dynamic from a one-way lecture to a rich, participatory experience, making every session more impactful. The flexibility of assignment deadlines a quizzes is another aspect I deeply appreciate, as it enables me to manage both my studies and professional responsibilities effectively.
Reflecting on my journey so far, I can confidently say that Metis College has redefined my expectations of an MBA program. The interactive learning environment, the unwavering support from facilitators and the admissions team, and the practical structure tailored for working professionals make this experience truly worthwhile.
For any ambitious professional seeking an internationally recognized MBA program that seamlessly integrates into a busy work schedule, Metis College is the ultimate choice. My journey here has been nothing short of transformative, and I look forward to the continued growth and learning ahead!
