Accomplished amplifiers. Achieved!
The course has exceeded my expectation as this was the first online course I’ve completed. The module zero content clarified and covered a lot of what to expect and clearly defines the process.
The complete course was relevant, informative, and gave me a lot of insight and the foundation needed to help me in my future roles. It has given me the understanding of terms and techniques I experience while deployed in the project team. Indeed, the DigitalCampus courses are credible, accessible, and applicable. Well done to the team. I’m looking forward to advanced project management courses.
English is my second language and this course assisted me by improving my grammar and fluency, especially working for a corporate company where it has enhanced my professionalism. This progress is a major motivator to continue my path towards achieving my goals. Business and life are all about learning, growing, and evolving; learning to embrace flexibility and allowing for a time of re-evaluation to take place. This course enhanced my skill set and I have gained a lot of new knowledge.
This course has exceeded my expectations as I am a visual learner; the added aid of the video content made it so much easier to understand. It was accessible at any time, and I also had the benefit of immediately applying the knowledge and skills to my day-to-day work and personal environment. DigitalCampus has given me the confidence and courage to empower myself. I absolutely loved the fact that the course was so accessible, and I enjoyed the interaction with other learners. I will always be grateful for this opportunity, as I grow within our organisation.
I have an aspiration of starting a family business and the idea is gaining momentum because of the new things I have learned from this course. Proper planning, taking time to do research, and testing the water are some of the things that made me realise that running a business demands leadership, patience, empathy and dedication. An organisation needs to improve its products and services to meet ever-growing changes or demands. You have revived my passion to study further. Thanks to the DigitalCampus team.
Coming from a totally different career background this course has assisted me in many ways. I have been able to address any questions I have had over the past six months of being here, and more importantly I have been able to upskill myself which has been great. I am able to see a future in my career which is so exciting after 22 years of doing only one other career.
As a baby boomer, I did not always understand why the millennials are always so busy on their phones and social media, and why they didn’t interact face-to-face. This course has opened up my understanding! I am a corporate account manager and have been in the field for around 29 years. I have really learned a lot about customer relations and the importance of customer satisfaction. I think it has made me realise I have to go back to basics and not take clients for granted. The course has impacted the way I treat my clients and has had a direct impact on my sales figures.
The course has provided me with an understanding of the digital landscape and the importance of continued monitoring and responsiveness to client needs. With the knowledge I have gained through this course I feel a step or two ahead of the market. I have learned that old dogs can still learn new tricks. Thank you all for your prompt responses and the efficient manner in which your course is conducted.
For me it has helped me a lot, I have learnt most of the things I never learned before in accounting and I was very interested. I am glad I chose this course. Now I am confident and ready to go and apply what in have learnt on this course. I always had a problem when studying accounting because I never had a good start or base. But now I can actually work on my own and it’s all thanks to this course.
The course has indeed exceeded my expectation, I had a completely different understanding of what operations management was, only to learn that it is something else. I enjoyed the course as this has opened my understanding and mindset to so many prospects. The journey has been an amazing one; I’ve learned so much and am sad that it has come to end, however I will be taking all that I have learned from the course which is a lot. Thank you!
My initial thoughts of the course were that it will be one of those typical courses where you learn but will not be able to apply what you have learnt. I was however pleasantly surprised. I learnt so much that I am able to follow and give input in our budget planning sessions. This course came at the right time for me. I understand the finance function a little bit better and am more confident and able to participate in discussions I would not have before. I will now be able to put together my own budget and be able to advise line managers on their own budgets.
