About University of the Witwatersrand

My expectations were not only met, they were exceeded. Before this course I had basic knowledge of communication skills in the business world. This course has not only confirmed a few things that I was uncertain of but has helped me realise that it’s not only in the work you do but how you present yourself and actively communicate in the corporate world that offers recognition. I really enjoyed this course and it was easy to access. DigitalCampus has empowered me to achieve my future goals by creating a clearer understanding of business communication.

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.

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.

The flexible learning has been a refreshing experience. The video seminars have been very informative and educational. It has put the whole environment of operations management in a broader context for me. We are currently doing Lean and Six Sigma training in my organisation. This course has put these tools into the context of the broader organisational objective as opposed to just a functional improvement effort. This has been one of the best learning experiences for me.

DigitalCampus has definitely given me the courage to do online courses more often as it showed me it’s not as overwhelming as one would think. I am a big introvert that struggles to speak and say my say, however this online course gave me courage to post my opinions. The way the modules are set out and explained makes the work much more understandable and feel easier somehow. The videos are a nice way of learning as you can watch the video again if you missed something. Thank you DigitalCampus for providing me with a very good course, knowledge, and interaction! Before I started the course, a few people told me that this was an excellent course and man were they right!! 🙂

This was a brilliant course and just what I sought in order to understand the financials of a business operation better, especially from a company secretarial perspective. Initially, I thought that 12 weeks was a long time, but how time flies. It was indeed challenging to try and complete weekly assignments while holding a full-time job (and being a parent, housewife, and going through November exams with my child). However, I had to make a plan. Overall, this was well worth it from a learnings (and cost) perspective.Thank you!

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.

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.

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.

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.
