"Did an IT Course with Netcom. A huge thank you to Antwan for being one of the best instructors I've ever had. Having done courses across different fields, I can honestly say his calm and reassuring teaching style stands out. He created such an open space for everyone to talk and learn, which made the experience even better. While the thought of the actual exam is still daunting, I feel well-prepared thanks to his guidance. Netcom is a well organised company, resolving any issues swiftly, so no complaints from me. "

"This course was a great opportunity for me, and I’ve learned so much from it. Vlera was very helpful helping me with the registration process. Gary the teacher was a fantastic teacher—he was patient, made everything easy to follow, and kept us involved throughout. I really appreciated the way he explained things and took the time to make sure we understood."

"Gary is an amazing teacher making sure everyone understood all of the concepts. He tried to instill interest and enthusiasm in all of us by using different concepts and analogies to explain his points. He was very understanding whenever we had any questions or if we couldnt expend as much time to a task as we wanted to. He was very knowledgeable about what he was talking about and broke down concepts to the bare bones to then build them back up."

"I took Social Media and Web Design. The course in itself was good, a little boring at times and quite a bit of the information were things that I was already aware of or knew. If you are somewhat experienced in the area that you want to study, I'd suggest that it's probably not the BEST course to take however, if you wish to branch out and discover new things then its 100% a good course for you. My teacher, Gary, was an absolute pleasure to be taught by. If there is one reason to be on the courses, it is for sure him. He is very catering to all experience levels and works at a good pace for those who may not have as much expertise. He is always open to questions and is a genuine and kind teacher. Overall, good course if you want to kickstart a career in anything other than you are currently doing, amazing teachers, good support system after you leave."

"I recently completed the Social Media Course by Netcom, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience. The course was well-organized and covered everything I needed to know—from creating content and creating posts to developing website and understanding analytics and staying updated on the latest trends. The instructor was not only knowledgeable but also super approachable, amazing tutor.He shared real-life examples, which made the sessions practical and easy to relate to. One thing I really liked was the hands-on assignments; they gave me the chance to apply what I learned right away, which made a big difference that helps me in my business journey. What stood out the most was how the course balanced theory and practice. They also provided tools and templates that are super useful for our business and for day-to-day social mediat posts. I feel much more confident now in managing social media accounts and running them effectively. If you're looking to start your business, I’d definitely recommend this course. "

"Netcom is great, it allows someone like me with almost no experience in IT support, to gain an intermediate understanding of IT systems in only 12 weeks. The pacing and work load of the course is good, as well as the resources available such as, CompTIA website memberships. I would particularly like to thank all the amazing staff including; Sue Gilkes, Jade Reynolds and our course administrator Sharona who went above and beyond to help us learn IT, improve our employability and care for our course progress. Thank you Netcom! "
