What makes it worth it?

GBS’s Student Referral Scheme is more than just a bonus. It is about growing together as a community. Many GBS students come from non-traditional backgrounds, juggling jobs, family or career changes. When you recommend a friend or a family member, you are doing more than just helping them enrol; you are helping them believe it’s possible and strengthening our community of learners.  

As an example, consider the student who once worked on-site and is now pursuing a management degree. Or the parent who returns to education after spending years away from the classroom. Your recommendation could be the turning point in someone else’s life. 

Whether your friend wants to launch their own business, pursue a career in corporate management, rise through the ranks of the construction industry, shape the future of digital technologies, build a career in banking and finance, or make a meaningful impact in health and social care, GBS has the perfect course to support their journey. Your referral could be the encouragement they need to achieve a brighter future and a fulfilling career.

Consequently, when you refer a friend and get rewarded, you are not just merely receiving a voucher; you are creating a ripple effect that could transform a life. 

The ripple effect of education

Education does not exist in isolation. At GBS, our vision is to strengthen communities by changing lives through education. Each new student represents the beginning of something bigger - families uplifted, career paths changed and futures rewritten. And your referral plays a role in that. This is not just a referral for a friend. This is a referral for a successful future.  

From diploma courses to degree programmes, GBS courses reflect the real world. They follow a practical learning approach and are tailored to meet the needs of evolving industries.  

Whether someone is stepping into education for the first time or returning with a fresh purpose, GBS can assist in their educational journey. The referral you make could be the first step that shapes their next big chapter in life.
