Student Reviews

“I am loving my course, the tutors are really helpful and contents easy to access I would definitely recommend to anyone that would like to study online.”

- Katia

“The Career Academy should be something to celebrate. It not only gives young solo mum's (like myself) a chance to do study in something they have been wanting to do for a while, but they also give an affordable way to pay, they give excellent service; from the phone lines to the tutors; but they also give motivational and useful feedback on how each student can improve. They personalize everything to suit each student and they are always available with a small waiting period between each response.

100% would recommend to anyone wanting to study from home while also having other things on in life.”

- Macy

“Enjoying the course, easy to sign up and if I need assistance they are usually quick to respond. Marked assignments have helpful tips and are very encouraging. Recommended study option.”

- Vicki

“It has been quite a while since I have studied and I have never completed a course online. I was worried that I wasn't going to have the support that I needed. That is definitely not the case, with so many ways to get in touch with help I can have my questions answered really quickly. Even if I email a query in the response time is really quick. The Tutor Team is fantastic, they are supportive and reassuring and have made the whole process so much easier...and definitely less scary!! Already looking at what my next course can be!”
