Hear from the Netcom Training Alumni

"I recently completed a data analytics course with Netcom, and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. The course tutor, Satinder Sohal, was absolutely incredible! She brought a wealth of knowledge to every subject and made the lessons both engaging and fun. Satinder's teaching style was not only effective but also motivating, and she truly made the learning process enjoyable. What stood out the most was her genuine support. Whether we faced challenges related to the coursework or personal obstacles, Satinder was always there to lend a helping hand. She dedicated her time and offered valuable advice, ensuring that we felt confident and empowered to continue. Her positive attitude was contagious, and she has been one of the most kind and inspiring people I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to dive into data analytics, and if you have the chance to be taught by Satinder, consider yourself incredibly fortunate! "

"Netcom has been great, taught me everything you need to know for cyber security and provide options even after you finish studies. Also shout out to Antwan great teacher, helped me a lot."

"Easy going studing process, tutor was encouraging, helpful and managed communication with interactive quizzes. Group works, labs and other stuff studied too briefly, because lack of time. I think, that one and a half month for course is too little. There is a need for extra time with labs."

"I had Antwan as my teacher, and I honestly don’t know how, but we managed to wrap everything up in just six weeks! His teaching methods are amazing—I understood everything clearly, and I haven’t forgotten a thing. "

"I enrolled for the Cyber Security course and was daunted by the fact that I don't have a background in IT. However, the course materials and the excellent guidance of our tutor, Antwan, who has been so encouraging and supportive throughout, have proven me wrong. His patience and openness has allowed us to ask the right questions without judgement and promote a respectful learning environment. I would absolutely recommend Netcom to others, and have done so (!), and hope to expand my knowledge further in the future."

"Overall, I had a great experience with this course. I am still waiting to finish up and get my certificates. My tutor Tom Brophy was excellent and supportive and knowledgeable, and always willing to go extra mile to ensure we understood the material. His guidance made a real difference, and I truly appreciate all the effort he put in. However, I was little disappointed with the administration side of things. There were some organizational issues that could have been handled better, which at times made things frustrating. That said, the quality of teaching was fantastic and I would still recommend the course. "

"My experiences with Netcom Training was nothing short of fantastic. I was a bit apprehensive at first due to being unfamiliar with participating in an online class (not very traditional at all), and not coming from a IT background; so I did feel somewhat intimidated by whom I was expecting to meet there. However, from start to finish I was made to feel welcome, and encouraged to ask questions; even stupid ones. Our lecturer; Satinder was excellent, always willing to take the time out to offer help and explain things in simple terms to sooth understanding, alongside exercising tremendous patience, considerations and gusto to bring sessions to life for everyone. We also had Azra; our career coach, who assisted us with the mechanics of improving our stock within the working terrain, whilst addressing the intrinsic metrics for paving the way. She also aided us behind the scenes with info and updates regarding career-orientated events. There was also the helpful tech support in Bly; whom answered all my queries and issues in earth-shattering speed, and in a professional and clear manner which I respect highly. Overall I am triumphantly happy with my experiences; however, not satisfied due to a spark being lit within myself to acquire more knowledge and understanding to build atop those gained from Netcom training. My confidence, understanding and competence within the realms of IT and the works of and surrounding Data have certainly heightened. "

"I joined Netcom Training for a few key reasons: to gain hands-on experience in networking configuration and to fully understand the ITIL process and backup procedures. I’m incredibly grateful for the training I’ve received. Tony, my tutor, has been outstanding in explaining complex concepts in a clear, accessible way, and he goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone understands the material. He also incorporates fun Kahoot quizzes to keep us engaged and assess our attentiveness. Tony’s guidance has been invaluable, and I would highly recommend Netcom to anyone, especially those from non-tech backgrounds. They provide exceptional support and will guide you step-by-step through the entire learning process. I truly appreciate this training and the guidance I’ve received."

The course was expertly led by Tony, who made complex concepts accessible and engaging. His teaching style was clear, patient, and full of real-world examples that truly helped me understand everything I needed to know. Tony went above and beyond, ensuring every student grasped the material and felt confident in applying it. Thanks to him and Netcom, I’m now fully prepared for the next step in my career. Highly recommend!"

"Completing a Data Analytics course with Netcom training has been an amazing experience. Satinder was my trainer and she was very professional, supportive and honest. She helped everyone in the cohort and no question went unanswered. She also was very articulate in her teaching and helped us understand quite complex content in a simple way. She used real life scenarios to set some context for us which really helped with understanding of topics. I would recommended people to try a get into a course with Netcom as it is a good opportunity to learn new skills. Netcom also provide a career coach to help with life after the course and during it. Which I think it’s a good opportunity to perfect your CV and also understand what roles you could potentially apply for. "

"Just completed Netcom Training's Social Media Marketing and Web Design course - and what a journey! We covered a huge amount of content over three months from how to set up a business, content marketing strategies, creating a website to launching yourself (or your company) on social media. It was all well-researched and I can honestly say I learned lots! Like any course, you get out what you put in.

"Honestly, I don't think anything went wrong. the training was very interesting. I suppose the trainer, Tony Granger was a wonderful person as well as a great teacher. His style of teaching made it easier for me to understand a whole lot, especially being someone transitioning into tech from a completely opposite field. The other Netcom staff are also excellent in the way they made it possible for us to ease into the course. I am quite happy and satisfied."

"Before starting my IT support course with Netcom Training, I had basic knowledge on how to build/upgrade a computer system. But being on this course has broadened my knowledge on how to set up a basic network for a home office environment, what devices are used within networks and what an IP address is. I have also learnt about the types of backups that are used, such as the 3-2-1 rule, which is 2 copies of data on different media and one copy that is offsite. I learnt about the benefits of Virtual machines when used in a business, this means that all of the users have their own virtual desktop interface which is stored/ run from a server rather than the hardware in a computer. This means that the cost for a business is considerably less as they will not need to upgrade computers to keep operating. Other things that I have been taught is password policies, this is put into place so that users have a password in which they log in with, however there may be a minimum life in which a password has, it may also have to be complex with not only numbers and letters but special characters to. During my time with Netcom Training there was CV and LinkedIn profile workshops, these helped as I was able to improve my CV and know what needs to be included, also how to setup a LinkedIn profile and the relevant information to include on it."

"The assistance of shahi in teaching the fundamentals and complex areas of IT Support has been a great experience, his explanations are relatable and make it easy to comprehend. Lauren helping with CV workshops and job application workshops has been great, enlightning and reassuring. Its good to know that there is support beyond the course itself."

"when I first started this course I had no idea what I was doing but shahi has been a great mentor throughout the course and I have learnt so much. I would definitely recommend Netcom to anyone who is looking to do an IT related course."
