"I studied an evening social media and web design course with my tutor, Nathan Shields and it was great. The tutors are really good and Nathan made this course feel so easy and less stress as it should've been. A lot of things happened outside but I was ensured to have time to catch up and I did with time to spare! This wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for the considerable staff, only wish this course was longer!"

"Honestly, I was not planning to continue the course after the first couple of weeks due to some time constraints, however, our tutor Amir convinced me to stay and I am glad I did, thank you, Amir. The course was full of valuable information, the delivery was spot on, and the atmosphere was always great. I wished the course was longer and had some integrated hands-on projects and labs to get a good taste of real work. Overall, I think it is a great course to start in the IT/Cyber security field. "

"I happen to have had not only the best tutor but also someone I am able to consider a brother in arms. Amir D. Was and is a great tutor, that understands the principals of teaching and supporting others as human beings. The best out of all is his understanding of others and their struggles from a foundational level to the more complex aspects of achieving your goals. Thanks to him, I was not only able to build new skills, but also enhance and refine them in such extent that I have gained confidence in myself and in the things that I have learned throughout the course. GUYS, THIS WAS A 3 MONTHS COURSE!!! Someone tell me how I grew a new pair of b*lls in such little amount of time? Says a lot about how far I have come considering how much of my effort was well utilised and mouldered by someone I trusted with my growth as an individual. Much love and appreciation to Amir D as a tutor and Netcom for allowing such a great service to be provided with their resources."
