I have always had an interest in property and estate management. I was unsure how to get my career started in this field without any experience or qualifications in that area. Also, having three children and a full time job limits my ability to attend to college courses. The online system they have at "New Skills Academy" is so straight forward and easy to use. I'm really enjoying learning and expanding my knowledge at my own pace and in my own time. Getting started was so straightforward, I even read over material during swimming lessons and the school run. I'm already looking for the next course to start!

Kayley Jones

My dream has come true. Eventually I found this online course after searching for years in my area where none of the colleges provided it and it is necessary to get my dream job.

I got an incredible discount and what I like the best I got a lifetime access to the course, so there is no rush and I can revisit any time to revise as well.

Excellent support and immediate response to emails, I am very pleased. The course material is written in an easily understandable way, no hidden fees and mobile friendly so I can learn anywhere.

Zsuzsanna Horak

I have a BA in Creative Writing, and I learned a lot from this course on the specifics of writing fantasy. With interesting subject matter and a worksheets that you can adapt for future writing, this course was absolutely worth the investment. It also allowed me to develop my teaching CV through its accredited certificate. I am looking forwards to incorporating some of the things I learned through the Fantasy Writing course in to my curriculum and classroom activities. If you have an interest in writing, or if you are an English teacher too, this series of courses are absolutely worth investing in.

Stephanie Gallon

I can honestly say that I have truly enjoyed learning about Microsoft Excel.
The step by step modules (36 of them!), breaking down each part of Excel was easy to understand and absorb. The explanations of each stage was handy for notes as well. The videos were helpful for directions and practise. The worksheets were helpful to put learning into action.
The test at the end was very good in covering many aspects of Excel, however I would have liked to know what I did not get correct. This would have been helpful.
However, I would gladly use a New Skills Academy course again.

Emma Mills

I’m a property investor and I have an interest in property generally. I wanted to do this course to broaden my knowledge of property but also make sure I understand my rights as a buyer of property. This is a nice introduction to the profession of Estate Agency but also negotiation and building networks. It includes material on both residential and commercial property, and also property maintenance. It touches upon the Estate Agents Act 1979 which is very important. My next step will be to review the act. It is a very broad course and is a good place to start.
