Enrolled in Legal Secretary Diploma course and absolutely love it! The course is well laid out, easy to follow at any pace and is full of information that is fit for the purpose. I can fit learning around my work and family life. I wish I had started sooner!

This course was great! Was so interesting and enlightening to what a day in the wedding planning business will be like! It was so easy to do and easy to fit it around my work schedule. Taught me so much and has really given me an amazing feeling about starting my new career! I would highly recommend! Better than paying thousands to go back to college when you can do this in your own time at your own pace and still learn just as much, if not more! When completing this course, I felt proud and excited for my next steps so thank you so much New Skills Academy for helping me accomplish my big leap into starting a new adventure and finally doing something I love!

I ordered the wedding planner course as I am off work and wanted to make use of my time. This course is extremely well set out and easy to follow. The course is broken down into easy to manage modules covering absolutely everything you need to know about being a wedding planner. You can complete these modules at your own pace and you get the chance to review the modules you have completed at any time you wish. The modules take you through the step by step process of planning a wedding including all the pit falls. I am enjoying this course and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of going into this area of work. The course gives you some very handy tips on things that you may well not have thought about. So what are you waiting for, sign up for an excellent course at a more than reasonable price.

I found the course very useful. I loved every minute of the course, the layout is clear and very easy to use. The take notes section is very useful, handy if your pen runs out of ink, which mine did.

The information was easy to read and follow. The pictures and videos was laid out very well, which are easy to follow. The PDF was great to follow and great to have for after the course to refresh your memory. Perfect for balloon modellers.

Thank you so much for the course. I have now added another certificate to my CV and customer like the idea of the certificate ? Thank you again.
