Accomplished amplifiers. Achieved!
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.
This course has been a real eye opener. Every week I found myself being more grateful for being chosen for this course. My expectations have been surpassed. I have been reminded about the future plans I have for myself. I’ve been mentally stagnant. Doing this course and sacrificing some time to complete it has shown me there is a lot more I can achieve, without the thought being too daunting. Amazing!
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.
Initially I thought that there would be no way that this could be done, however, the way the course has been set out exceeded my expectations. The fundamentals of HR and management working together to achieve the success of our organisation’s goals has been provided through the course content. Thank you to DigitalCampus and Wits lecturers for making online learning so engaging and being so supportive.
This course has empowered me so much that I can see myself as a logistics manager in the future; the organisation I will manage will never fall apart because I have learnt all the types of wastes and how to avoid them so you can benefit in business. I would like to say thank you to DigitalCampus for this opportunity, honestly I never thought that I would receive such information. Now I’m more excited in doing my job and looking forward to growing in my department.
The course has provided me with an understanding of the digital landscape and the importance of continued monitoring and responsiveness to client needs. With the knowledge I have gained through this course I feel a step or two ahead of the market. I have learned that old dogs can still learn new tricks. Thank you all for your prompt responses and the efficient manner in which your course is conducted.
As a baby boomer, I did not always understand why the millennials are always so busy on their phones and social media, and why they didn’t interact face-to-face. This course has opened up my understanding! I am a corporate account manager and have been in the field for around 29 years. I have really learned a lot about customer relations and the importance of customer satisfaction. I think it has made me realise I have to go back to basics and not take clients for granted. The course has impacted the way I treat my clients and has had a direct impact on my sales figures.
English is my second language and this course assisted me by improving my grammar and fluency, especially working for a corporate company where it has enhanced my professionalism. This progress is a major motivator to continue my path towards achieving my goals. Business and life are all about learning, growing, and evolving; learning to embrace flexibility and allowing for a time of re-evaluation to take place. This course enhanced my skill set and I have gained a lot of new knowledge.
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.
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.
