"I must say I've learnt a lot so far, and I'm quite glad I signed up for this course when I did, as I was able to get 50% off the fees. We had a lot of support from the team, from the point of registration right down to the lectures. I would like to thank Kezia F. for her support during the registration, as she was of so much help. Also a big shout out to Shahi W. who was extremely wonderful with the way he delivered the course. I like to commend his patience, his constant follow-up and his effort in making sure we all understood the course, as he was more than just a lecturer but a father too. I'm glad that we were able to cover the whole topic within the limited time we had, and I can say with a bit more research and guidance I'll be more than ready for the exam. Once more, I'll like to thanks the whole team for this opportunity. "

"Overall, I had a great experience with Netcom, specifically with my tutor Shahi, he went through great lengths to during this course, and thoroughly explained each step of what he was doing, and great personalised examples with it. All lessons were recorded so I can go through it again at my own pace and revisit the topics I struggled in. I have a lot of respect for Shahi, he would even go out of his way to make sure we understood what we were doing, very professional and kind, with a good mix of humour to keep us going. Thank you Netcom, and thank you Shahi for making this a great experience for us."

"So far, my experience with Netcom Training has been fantastic. However, if the course had been about another week (or even two weeks) longer, I would have been able to absorb the information I learned more thoroughly. Either way, I can watch the lessons afterwards."

"I did the Tech and Cloud essentials course, which rolled together the syllabus for the CompTIA certifications for Tech+, Cloud Essentials+, and Tech+ cores 1 and 2, over 12 weeks finishing on 29/05/2025. I enjoyed the course thoroughly. It was taught 4 days a week Mon-Thurs, 3hrs per day 10am-1pm. We were well provisioned with support material, comprehensive PDF's of the booklets for each course, and copies of all the slides presented to us throughout. Each session was presented as a lecture over MS Teams, and each one was recorded, so could be watched back to go over tricky material, or in case part or whole of a session was missed. For each certification there was a wealth of supplemental online resources - online workshops, specimen questions, flashcards, Labs etc which reinforced the taught material. The quality of the teaching was good - our tutor, Antwan, really shone when he was presenting material which reflected his own experience in the industry, of which he had plenty. Some of the material was quite dense and slide-heavy, and there were a few weeks during the Cloud course in which is was hard not to feel a bit overwhelmed. This was not a fault of the teaching, or the supplied material, so much as how much info needed to be put across in such a short amount of time. There was certainly enough supplemental material to make organising revision a breeze. With about 6 hours of independent study per week i was able to sit and comfortably pass the certs for Tech+ and Cloud essentials+ a month before the end of the course. I have A+ core 1 booked for next week and feel confident about passing, and easily have sufficient notes from class and study material to be confident about booking A+ core 2 soon. Netcom provide further support for 6 months after the course end, including revision workshops, one to one contact with an employment/job skills professional, CV/LinkedIn building support, and more. I have not used these services yet, but plan to when i have completed the academic portion of the course. I would find it hard to criticise any part of the course, in terms of the teaching, resources, and support. The only thing I would have liked to see more of, was more engagement from some of the other participants on the course - with a tutorial group size of 20 or so, there were only ever eight or nine of the cohort who ever contributed regularly to the online classes and discussions, and at least four or five names who I never saw contribute even once. Quite hard to do over a 12 week course. Not Netcom's fault of course. I would recommend Netcom as a training provider without hesitation, and would certainly use them again to gain further training in this field"

"I recently completed the Cyber Security Practices Level 3 course with Netcom, taught by Antwan. The course provided a strong foundation in cybersecurity principles, covering key practices and real-world applications. Antwan was highly communicative, clear in his explanations and ensured that complex topics were accessible. His teaching style was structured and informative, making it easy to follow along. I appreciated the practical insights he shared, which helped reinforce the theoretical aspects of the course. Antwan went above and beyond by taking the time to demonstrate the tools and different technologies used in cybersecurity, even those that weren't mandatory as part of the course. Overall, this was a valuable learning experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to build their cybersecurity knowledge. "

"I had a great experience with Netcom Training. Mamie was my tutor for most of the course and she was really supportive, clear, and made everything easy to understand. For the last two weeks, I had Gary, who was also brilliant and very professional. Both tutors made the lessons interesting and kept the group motivated. I learned a lot and feel much more confident with social media and design skills now. I would definitely recommend Netcom Training to anyone looking to build up their skills!"

"I liked how short the course was and how the classes was only 3 hours long so you could do a lot of home study after the class without it interfering with too much of your own time it was a bit rocky at first due to out teacher leaving but after we got a permeant tutor its was smooth every class I felt like I was learning something new that it stay with me for a long time the tests was very different some was hard and some was easy so there is a variety in skill we did kahoot tests to see if we remembered anything after the modules fun experience I had a good class with people that was easy to talk to "
