Lua Huily won the Gold Prize in LCCI for Business Statistics!

When approached recently, Lua who was pleasantly surprised by her achievement said she didn’t expect to be the best in LCCI.

“When I received my LCCI results, I was both happy and surprised. All my hard work paid off!” said Lua who is currently studying at SEGi College Kuala Lumpur (SCKL).

Success didn’t come easily for Lua, “I am very proud of my achievements today. This is a reward for my constant studying and not skipping classes.”

“I chose to study at SCKL was because I believe in experience that they have gained over the years as SEGi College has 30 years of experience in providing LCCI and ACCA courses,” added Lua.
