This is an important, high-level role, valued by many of the country’s largest and most high-profile employers and brands, and they’re willing to pay to get the right people for the job. The sky’s the limit!

Here’s what our students say about our courses…
“I found the support processes very good. I liked how there was regular phone calls to check on progress and also offers of help to whenever I needed it. I would feel comfortable to ask questions as I got the impression that everyone is happy to help. I think the whole course was helpful in developing work skills. I look forward to going on with my studies and have a solid basis to work from. I think the overall set up of the course was easy to follow, I liked how we could pick the subjects to do in an order that suited us. I would recommend this course to others.” – Jarrod Howell
“It has allowed me to pursue a higher position within another organisation. Numerous topics I was able to discuss at the job interview, which I learnt during the learning phase of these courses. I would not have been able to pursue this new position had I not completed these courses. I have already recommended the training to others.” – Tony Grey
