Student Testimonials

“I really enjoyed the course because it was online and I really liked the varied assessment methods, the collaborations were great because I really liked having that social aspect and learning off others. I can’t recommend enough, or say how much value I got from the teaching team. I just think they were so knowledgeable, and I always felt completely supported, I felt like I could ask any question.”
Natalie Moloney - HR Professional
“Throughout the course I was working part-time in a successful and busy role and stay at home dad the rest of the time, and the flexibility of the course made juggling all of this very achievable. The teachers and staff were all very experienced, knowledgeable, and genuine in their approach to teaching and helping us get the most out of the course. The industry insights from actual people working in the industry I wanted to work in, was very valuable. The online system and mobile app made it easy to complete work and learn whenever I had extra time to as well, I could be on the train to work and load up the week’s learning on my phone in 30 seconds with no issue.”
Tate Harris – Graduate
