About University of the Witwatersrand

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.

The course has exceeded my expectation as this was the first online course I’ve completed. The module zero content clarified and covered a lot of what to expect and clearly defines the process.
The complete course was relevant, informative, and gave me a lot of insight and the foundation needed to help me in my future roles. It has given me the understanding of terms and techniques I experience while deployed in the project team. Indeed, the DigitalCampus courses are credible, accessible, and applicable. Well done to the team. I’m looking forward to advanced project management courses.

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.

DigitalCampus has definitely given me the courage to do online courses more often as it showed me it’s not as overwhelming as one would think. I am a big introvert that struggles to speak and say my say, however this online course gave me courage to post my opinions. The way the modules are set out and explained makes the work much more understandable and feel easier somehow. The videos are a nice way of learning as you can watch the video again if you missed something. Thank you DigitalCampus for providing me with a very good course, knowledge, and interaction! Before I started the course, a few people told me that this was an excellent course and man were they right!! 🙂

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!

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.

For me it has helped me a lot, I have learnt most of the things I never learned before in accounting and I was very interested. I am glad I chose this course. Now I am confident and ready to go and apply what in have learnt on this course. I always had a problem when studying accounting because I never had a good start or base. But now I can actually work on my own and it’s all thanks to this course.

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!

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.

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.
