I would recommend it to anyone working in HR or looking to get into HR

Easy to use! Fantastic! It has massively helped me whilst I have been working in Human Resources. I couldn't ask for anything better. I can't wait to start another course with you! Definitely worth every penny and I would highly recommend it. I was also able to brush up on my excel knowledge too which is really imperative in my role. Before I started the course I had little knowledge on how to use Excel, I am now a Excel wiz! Such a fantastic course I would recommend it to anyone working in HR or looking to get into HR Eva Stenson - Solihull

The programme is great springboard

A great programme, and allowed me to interact in my own time, reflect on my learning and get to practice. I like the fact that there is an exam to verify and check learning. The platform is easy to navigate around and is engaging both left hemisphere and right hemisphere of the brain. The parts about motivation and retention rates is interesting and will be helpful in my own personal career. It's good to see that learning and development, including different training methods are included. The programme is great springboard for people wanting to go into human resources as a career option. Marie Tolman – London

I am already thinking about what other courses I can start with New Skills Academy

Great support from tutors and IT staff! Emails are always answered quickly, even on late nights and early mornings. Good clear lay out across the website, very easy to navigate and keep track of modules completed. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to gain more knowledge in their own time and develop in the area. I completed this course on my commute to and from work. I also received a student card with this course that was great to benefit discounts from. I am already thinking about what other courses I can start with New Skills Academy as soon as possible!

I can say hand on heart it has been the best experience of my life

I started the HR Management Diploma Level 2 - CPD Certified & IVCAS Accredited in November 2016, and I can say hand on heart it has been the best experience of my life. Everything I have learnt here, every lesson, has been practical and useful, with real skills that are relevant to the real world, instead of hours of boring theory and history of the subject. Straight away we were learning real web design. This course has been incredibly helpful and I have learnt far more than I could have ever imagined and I have only completed 4 of the 20 modules. Chloe Gibson – Nottingham

I found the course relevant, clear, concise

I found the course relevant, clear, concise and a good basis for a change of career to HR. I thought it was good value for money, the balance of information, the exercises were good and liked the fact that I can access from wherever and study at my own pace. I found the website easy to navigate and liked the fact it remembered where I was up to. When I asked a question of support, I got a fast response that solved my question. I would do courses with New Skills Academy in the future. Thank you very much! Victoria Ames – Brentwood, Essex

Would highly recommend this HRM course

For me, as a current employee in Human Resources, this HR Management Course was an excellent opportunity to get more insight of the industry and my job role. The course provided a lot of relevant information that I could relate to in my job role as well as find ideas that I would be able to adapt in my workplace. I am keen on sharing my knowledge and implementing these new ideas in order to help our company achieve success. Would highly recommend this HRM course to people desiring to join Human Resources as well as the ones already working in the industry as everyone will be able to obtain something that will help them develop as a worker, a person and a future HR Manager! Sandra Zinkeviciute - Peterborough

I would strongly recommend this course

A great course to reinforce the knowledge I have gained through on-the-job experience. Now I have the confidence in my experience to apply for better jobs to utilise my newly learned skills. Being able to complete the course at my own speed and when convenient was great and suited my situation. Also being able to review the modules as I was progressing really helped it sink in thoroughly. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in HR, any section of the arena, either to learn, to brush up on existing knowledge or like me, to be able to prove that I know the basics of the HR function. Jo Kesbey - Rochford

I can only give credit to New Skills Academy

I would like to say that I have completely enjoyed the course online and I am very pleased with the resources and information that was given. My father is very proud of me completing the course in a short amount of time and I can only give credit to New Skills Academy for giving me the opportunity to complete a qualification that will benefit me in the future. I say this because my preferred job role is a human resources manager or even assistant to start off with. Many thanks for this amazing experience and the importance of this qualification as a whole. Kaoutar Lenabdeljilil, London

Will definitely keep New Skills Academy in mind when taking future course.

Great course. Easily readable online, no jargon and had up to date information and illustrations as well as the sources that were used within the modules. Most modules had an assessment at the end where you could check your own knowledge - this was a great add on to ensure you are up to speed. The exam was easily laid out great with no tricky to read questions. The completion certificate was easily accessible on completion and you are given your grade immediately after the exam - it even gives you the option to see your incorrect answers so you can review them in your own leisure. All of the modules are printable so you can ready back as often as you like. Not only this, but throughout the whole course, you have the ability to email representatives of the course who will answer any questions you may have and they are very prompt with their responses. I was overall very happy with this course and will definitely keep New Skills Academy in mind when taking future course. Thank you! Gemma Johnston, Birmingham
