ew Skills Academy is thrilled to announce that our co-founder, Chris Morgan, received the NatWest Great British Entrepreneur Award for Family Business Entrepreneur of the Year.
We are very proud of Chris for all he has accomplished. At only 34, Chris has created multiple successful businesses, developed strong relationships with just about everyone he has worked with, and overcome personal challenges to achieve the success he has today.
Chris was able to see the importance and appeal of ‘leisure learning’, online learning and continuous education before many others, creating New Skills Academy as a way to help others indulge in their passion for learning.
Setting up an e-learning business was a risk, but with Chris’ vision, dedication and business skills, he and his brother Dan transformed it from a small online school to flourishing business, with nearly 100,000 students.
The NatWest Great British Entrepreneur Awards have been handed out to hardworking and inspiring British entrepreneurs for the past five years. The Award recognises the stories and motivations behind each winner, rather than focusing solely on financial success.
The ceremony celebrates individuals in 12 different categories, including Family Business of the Year.
This year saw a surge in applications, tripling previous years, with over a thousand entries received across five regions. The founder, Francesca James, talked about the struggle the judges had in selecting winners, as the entries received this year were “the best ever”. In the end, they selected entrepreneurs who have impacted their industry, entrepreneurship in their region and the greater UK economy.
We hope you will join us in extending our congratulations to Chris for this wonderful acknowledgement of all he does for the region.
Chris truly embodies all that the NatWest Great British Entrepreneur Awards values and we are so proud of him for this amazing accomplishment.

Yet another well laid out course. This is my 3rd course so far with New Skills Academy.
More than likely will be back for another one soon. This course was enjoyable to do, and I learnt a lot and passed first try. My certificate will be up on the wall soon.

It was an eye opening course that was flexible and easy to access. I was able to complete it from the comfort of my own home whilst also having the tasks to complete which enabled me to check my knowledge. I know feel much more confident in my field of work and really enjoyed doing it.

Fantastic course! Well-presented and challenging with frequent assessments. I feel a serious sense of accomplishment having not studied for over 30 years! Videos that accompany each module are carefully thought out and informative. Am so impressed with this course, have now signed up for 3 other courses and recommending New Skills Academy to everyone!

Wow what an incredible insight for the start of anyone's journey in property. This course gives you so much information and there are tests and questions on each of the modules. The course is very easy to follow and well laid out. You can actually make notes on the pages of each module using the notes tab! I am very excited to say that I passed and I only spent one week on this course. I will print all the PDF information and keep it in a file with my certificate. I feel very confident for my future plans now I have completed this course.

The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course
