About Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University (SMU)

My initial expectation of the course was that it would be difficult to understand and apply the accounting methodologies via a digital platform. The DigitalCampus platform was an awesome digital learning experience, with various channels available for support and assistance. The platform was easy to navigate and understand. DigitalCampus has indeed assisted with continued development and learning, providing a platform where learning can take place in the comfort of your home. The Wits course empowers me with the needed learning tools that can be applied within the business world and develop me for future tasks.

My expectations were not only met, they were exceeded. Before this course I had basic knowledge of communication skills in the business world. This course has not only confirmed a few things that I was uncertain of but has helped me realise that it’s not only in the work you do but how you present yourself and actively communicate in the corporate world that offers recognition. I really enjoyed this course and it was easy to access. DigitalCampus has empowered me to achieve my future goals by creating a clearer understanding of business communication.

My initial thoughts of the course were that it will be one of those typical courses where you learn but will not be able to apply what you have learnt. I was however pleasantly surprised. I learnt so much that I am able to follow and give input in our budget planning sessions. This course came at the right time for me. I understand the finance function a little bit better and am more confident and able to participate in discussions I would not have before. I will now be able to put together my own budget and be able to advise line managers on their own budgets.

At first I was nervous but after module two I started enjoying everything about the course, and now I have a better understanding of operations management. Having the Wits brand in my CV will be a huge boost in confidence; the knowledge will make me highly marketable.

The flexible learning has been a refreshing experience. The video seminars have been very informative and educational. It has put the whole environment of operations management in a broader context for me. We are currently doing Lean and Six Sigma training in my organisation. This course has put these tools into the context of the broader organisational objective as opposed to just a functional improvement effort. This has been one of the best learning experiences for me.

Coming from a totally different career background this course has assisted me in many ways. I have been able to address any questions I have had over the past six months of being here, and more importantly I have been able to upskill myself which has been great. I am able to see a future in my career which is so exciting after 22 years of doing only one other career.

This course has exceeded my expectations. It is simple and versatile. I love that I can study anytime and anywhere. It makes learning so much more interesting. The assignments are also very clear and concise. The whole layout of the course is very clear and accessible. They say knowledge is power and that is very true, and with DigitalCampus it’s so simple to achieve one’s goals. I will definitely be thinking of studying with them in the near future and will definitely recommend DigitalCampus to anyone.

This was a brilliant course and just what I sought in order to understand the financials of a business operation better, especially from a company secretarial perspective. Initially, I thought that 12 weeks was a long time, but how time flies. It was indeed challenging to try and complete weekly assignments while holding a full-time job (and being a parent, housewife, and going through November exams with my child). However, I had to make a plan. Overall, this was well worth it from a learnings (and cost) perspective.Thank you!

This course has exceeded my expectations as I am a visual learner; the added aid of the video content made it so much easier to understand. It was accessible at any time, and I also had the benefit of immediately applying the knowledge and skills to my day-to-day work and personal environment. DigitalCampus has given me the confidence and courage to empower myself. I absolutely loved the fact that the course was so accessible, and I enjoyed the interaction with other learners. I will always be grateful for this opportunity, as I grow within our organisation.

I have an aspiration of starting a family business and the idea is gaining momentum because of the new things I have learned from this course. Proper planning, taking time to do research, and testing the water are some of the things that made me realise that running a business demands leadership, patience, empathy and dedication. An organisation needs to improve its products and services to meet ever-growing changes or demands. You have revived my passion to study further. Thanks to the DigitalCampus team.
