Really interesting and a good starting point for increasing my understanding and knowledge. Easy to access at any time, modules were nice and short so good bursts of information and easy to understand. I feel that I have gained knowledge that I can take forward within my current profession and apply my knowledge to get the best possible results for my organisation in all forms of media. Would recommend this course for anyone looking to start off in this career and looking to gain solid background information to take you forward. You have the flexibility to learn in your own time and take it at your own pace which is great when you are already working full time.

Great insight into Fraud. Having only dealt with certain areas of fraud such as insurance fraud I am finding this course to be a great help to increase my knowledge and understanding of other types of fraud and areas/industries affected.

Hopefully this will help me to look at pursuing jobs that I would not have the confidence to apply for due to lack of knowledge or understanding.

Mohammad Akhtar

I really enjoyed completing this course, it was very informative and has boasted my confidence so much that i feel excited about moving forward with my new career.

I have learned so much by completing the course and I cannot wait to put it all into practice.

I completed the course after studying at my own pace, there was no time scale to finish it which I was happy about and the support team were very quick to respond to any queries that I had at any time through out the learning process. I love that i have my certificate and I feel very proud of myself

Elizabeth Byrne

his is a really great course, its content is really useful.

It’s great value for money and it’s not at all stressful. It’s so easy to understand, yet it covers complex aspects regarding safe practices. It let’s you stop and start the course, which means I can still work in a full time job, which won’t effect me financially.

This has been the best decision to complete this course. I’m really keen to learn more skills, and maybe do a few more courses to expand my skills set. I will most definitely be using New Skills Academy to help me!

Samantha Holmes

Quick and easy, can learn in your own time which was great. I have an 8-week old baby and managed to complete with no pressure. Everything was broken down so well and helpful videos along the way.

Will be taking more courses with New Skills Academy, I wish I did the course years ago. I have the experience in waxing but because I gave up my college course to have my baby, I don’t have the time to go back and I was close to qualifying.

I took this course and passed without all the hassle of going back for a year. Thank you, New Skills Academy.

Sofia Legg

I found the CRM course to be very informative & user friendly. The knowledge I've gained, after completing five detailed modules & a short exam, has given me a much better understanding of CRM and this personal development will help me to implement new processes in the workplace. The entire course is available on demand, before and after completion, meaning you can go over every module until you're confident enough to take the exam. For anybody looking to gain information on what Customer Relationship Management is, and how it can improve your business, I cannot not recommend this course highly enough.
