I was pleasantly surprised at how well the course flowed
At age 44, I took a notion to start a new career, so I booked a Travel & Tourism online course with New Skills Academy.
I was actually pretty nervous when I looked at the modules as it’s been years since I studied!
I was pleasantly surprised at how well the course flowed and how uncomplicated it was. The presentation of the course was easy to read and understand.
When I got to the final test, I was nervous, but had no need to be. It was a general test of knowledge and I passed with 70%. I feel proud!

The knowledge in each package is phenomenal!
Helpful tips learned during the course and many fun facts. I will be completing 6 more courses after this one. Such a great learning experience. The knowledge in each package is phenomenal!
Each course is broken down into modules to make it easy to break down the course for short breaks and as soon as you sign back in again it remembers where you left off in your course. How clever!
I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to brush up their knowledge and skills. Best of luck!
100% Recommended. New Skills Academy is the best!
