What our Students say
about this course…

  • After 4 years out of work, I really needed to update my skills to get back into work. This course boosted my confidence and ability massively, and being able to work through it at my own pace made all the difference.
  • My work put me on this as part of our yearly training, and I’ll admit I wasn’t looking forward to yet another online course. Surprisingly it was actually really enjoyable and it’s made a genuine difference to my skills and workflow.
  • I signed up hoping to brush up on Excel for a new job, but ended up learning way more than I expected across the whole Office suite. It’s given me a real edge when applying for admin roles.
  • At my age I never thought I’d get to grips with computers, if I’m honest. But this course took things slowly and explained everything so clearly that I actually understood it, rather than just following along. I’m really quite proud of myself for finishing it.
  • Everything you need to get started in ONE place
  • Suitable for absolute beginners
  • A community on your side
