“I loved the journey I took with GetSmarter and UCT in a field I knew nothing about. The learning experience was very insightful, and I will definitely be using this to advance my career and the new business that I am starting up with my colleague. The support was amazing, and I always knew what to do even though I had no business background. My classmates helped me a lot and gave me a lot of insight whenever I felt lost. I enjoyed all the topics, especially those that were practical and based on real-life experiences. If you are entering the marketing world, this course is a must! ”

The content engaged my mind to think differently, and helped me address my weaknesses and shortcomings as a site manager. It helped me to understand and focus on a project in its entirety, and grasp how to manage all the components more effectively and efficiently. I learned useful tools that can be applied to different site circumstances, and think the course is a must-do for those [who are] nervous to engage [with] online learning. ”
