"Course was very good, especially the trainer I learnt a lot of information in a short space of time, but there was always time to recap and ask and review my learning. Would recommend the course to anyone who wants to update skillset or learn more about digital marketing."

"In 2021 I was working in Warehouse and then I started training with netcom and I got my level 3 cert. I got office job in the same year of 2021. I am very lucky to get that training. I would like to compliment all the staff of Netcom and a particular compliment goes to Billy (Bulquese). This is my honest opinion about Billy: "Thank you, Billy, for the outstanding service and support! Your dedication and expertise truly make a difference." Abduaziz Oumer (Abdi)"

"I completed A Cyber Security Course and I have to say all the teachers were amazing and very helpful.If you was unsure I felt like you could always ask and they would take their time to explain and show you different ways of doing things. Amazing Teachers such as Reece, Michelle, Pawan and Andy. They was always available when needed and never minded any students asking further questions or for more clarification or help in lessons or after. "

"Great Teachings I have learned a lot doing the Social media and Web Design class and gained new skills along the way. I enjoyed everything "

"Thoroughly enjoyed the training delivered by Gary at Netcom. Websites & Social Media for Entrepreneurs was 12 week course run in the afternoons for 4 days a week and actually helped me in more ways than educational. It gave me a bit more structure to my life when I was feeling depressed. I thought I would wiz through the course due to previously being an IT tutor and being very interested in ICT historically but actually I learnt a lot. The theory was in-depth and punctuated with great relevant examples of well known brands. I would have loved more time and focus on actually creating more websites especially with the CMS but as pointed out it's fairly straight forward. I've developed a lot more confidence due to the course and I wish Netcom more strength to support more people. "
