"I began my course in December and have recently concluded it. The knowledge and training I have received goes far beyond what I could ever have expected/hoped for when I applied! Lessons were engaging, informative and so fun and it’s honestly been one of the best educational experiences of my life. I was trained by Mamie (honestly I could have given her a lengthy review by herself) made this experience truly come to life. She has been attentive and so kind and has restored confidence in me that I’d lost many moons ago. Throughout you can truly see that she cares about her class and giving them the best experience/opportunities available. Mamie has also shown so much support for those partaking in Ramadan which I myself don’t but it has been clear to see how comfortable she has made those who are. This is something I have NEVER seen in a classroom throughout the years. Not only has she been a star personality-wise but her experience/knowledge is off the charts and there could have been nobody better to teach what she has done. Honestly if you apply and you receive Mamie as your coach, you’re in the best hands. She’s a credit to the team and I am and have been so thankful for her throughout this experience. So strange but I’ve always been so quick to run away from education but this time it feels so sad to go. "

"I recently completed an IT Support course with Netcom Training and had a great experience. The course was intensive and helped me gain new knowledge while improving my existing skills. Special thanks to my instructor, Mr. Shahi Wadan, for his patience and support, and to Miss Romana for helping me with my CV and career guidance. I also appreciate all the staff for their support. I highly recommend Netcom Training."

"Netcom Training is a great place to learn! Like with most things in life you get what you put in. Our career coach, Romana and trainer, Shahi were both very willing to help! My trainer, Shahi, always had an example and analogy to help us grasp concepts! With most things in life though, you really only get what you put in! So if you're willing to work hard then I definitely recommend it! We learnt CompTia Tech+, CompTia A+ core1 and core 2 and Business Processes!"

"I started this course feeling quite nervous and unsure of myself, convinced it wouldn't lead anywhere. I'm glad to say I couldn't have been more wrong. I came in with absolutely no background in I.T support and honestly didn't know where to begin. But thanks to the brilliant teaching of Shahi Wadan, I've walked away feeling genuinely confident and much more informed on the subject. I've never come across a teacher quite like Shahi — his patience, clarity and expertise made all the difference. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to have been taught by him. I would wholeheartedly recommend Netcom to anyone looking to get into something technical or I.T related."

"My experience with Netcom Training was very positive, especially during the IT Support course. A big part of that was thanks to Shahi, who was an excellent trainer throughout the program. Shahi demonstrated strong knowledge of IT support concepts and explained topics in a clear and structured way, making even complex ideas easy to understand. He was always patient and willing to answer questions, ensuring that everyone in the class kept up with the material. His teaching style was engaging and supportive, which created a comfortable learning environment. What stood out the most was his practical approach. He didn’t just focus on theory but also included real-world scenarios and hands-on exercises, which helped build confidence and prepare us for actual IT support roles. Overall, I would highly recommend Netcom Training for anyone considering an IT Support course, and Shahi in particular for his dedication, professionalism, and ability to make learning both effective and enjoyable."

"I’ve had a really good experience with Netcom so far. One of the biggest things I took away (apart from all of the new IT knowledge) was realising how much structure there actually is in IT support. Before this, I thought it would be more of a “figure it out as you go” situation, but the course showed me there are clear processes and support systems in place. Shahi was a great tutor, what really stood out was his interactive teaching style. He didn’t just rely on the slides, but used practical tools like Cisco Packet Tracer. He also brought in personal anecdotes and real life scenarios, which made the content feel more relevant and easier to understand. He encouraged interaction throughout the sessions, which made it more engaging, and when we were learning code, he introduced useful sites where we could test things ourselves, including practical and ethical hacking exercises. I've been working with our work coach Afzaa to build my confidence and skills in job hunting so overall, I feel a lot more confident going into a support role now. Thank you Shahi and Netcom! "

"I started the course at Netcom, not knowing if it would be the right direction for me. I wanted to enhance my skills and broaden my understanding in relation to social media. I have to say I learnt a lot that I didn't know before starting. With clear teaching and gudiance I digested complex ideas and applied them to the project that was started from day 1. Learning new skills and practically applying them is a great way to learn and something that completely resonates with me. I've come away with more confidence in myself at a level I didn't know I would before joining the course. With the careers support provided after the course, I feel that it will also help me with securing a role that I thoroughly enjoy and one that I can excel in. Huge shoutout to Gary for his brilliant expertise and support, couldn't have done it without him."
