The course was insightful and engaging
I truly enjoyed the Facilities Management Diploma course. I would recommend this to anybody in, or looking to join, Facilities Management as a stepping stone in to the area, or to anybody that wants to sharpen their own knowledge in facilities management.
The course was insightful and engaging with a good balance of details without too much jargon. The 10 modules are well spaced with their subjects. The page layout makes it easy to navigate and find your way back to the last point you left it, should you be called away.
I would recommend New Skills Academy to anybody and I am already looking for my next course.

I took up this course initially to help me with my own dog, but found that as I worked through the material I actually started thinking that this could be something that I could use to make a second income. From start to finish I found the course engaging and interesting. I am now doing another dog related course and am experiencing the same level of enjoyment. I would recommend New Skills Academy without hesitation.
Keith Smith
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.

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.
