Samantha, Micro-credential in Digital Skills for the Workplace graduate. 

"The Digital Skills course really helped my confidence. 


When helpful and supportive people are there and willing to help you learn, why not?!"

Graduate, October 2022

"I was actually a bit scared before I started the course but I truly loved it!  The best piece of advice I got was from a leadership course "your best opportunities lie outside your comfort zone" so I am grateful to have felt the fear and done it anyway.  The tutors were great and very knowledgeable about the tools.  I also loved the interactive environments and getting to know others and their goals.  I would definitely recommend to others.”

Graduate, May 2023

"Many thanks to Evey for her expert guidance on this course. She's professional, skilled and has a warm personality that makes the course environment a relaxed place to learn in. I was really impressed to see that one person (who was struggling) was invited into the academyEX office to get extra support - no one left behind :). Great to see that people's learning needs were accommodated so they could learn at their own pace and receive additional support where possible.”
