What others say.
This course has an excellent presenter who has so much valuable knowledge to share.
Tutor was fantastic! A very informative and inspiring teacher who made unfamiliar material and techniques very accessible. Also provided specific instructions/plans/resources that will keep me learning for many months (and beyond). I will change the way I approach e-Learning from now on.
The course was great. I just don’t have time to investigate e-Learning solutions for the work I do, so it was really helpful to be able to tap into the tutor’s amazing experience to fast track my own knowledge. I came away with information that is going to make an impact in my workplace.
What a great course, completely fascinating from start to finish. The tutor is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. I learnt more and was inspired more than I had anticipated. I’d highly recommend this course, it was also a lot of fun!
Thank you – this course was professional and catered to my learning needs!
I thoroughly enjoyed the course with an experienced professional and personable tutor, clearly passionate about eLearning and technology integration. Greatly appreciate the action-packed and informative course. I highly recommend this course for learning and development professionals.
My tutor’s enthusiasm for the subject and vast knowledge was second to none, and it made this course both enjoyable and extremely worthwhile.
As an Indigenous mum returning back into the workforce I found the e-learning for business a fantastic course. I have recently graduated with a Graduate Certificate in Indigenous Arts Management and believe that taking the course in e-learning will give me a real edge.
The tutor was great. He really had the knowledge in e-learning and online tools, and was willing to pass it all on. I believe I walked out with a good knowledge of available tools which will benefit my career.
The tutor was well organised and obviously an expert in this area. They provided a well paced, well planned overview of the material.
