    Diana Dixon

    I started this course as it is a keen interest of mine; as someone who worked as an office manager and administrator for large Estate Agents in London, I wanted to tighten my skills. I was not disappointed! There are a huge range of information; from dealing with aspects of marketing to legalities and a lot of reading. It was very easy to access and very thorough. I would recommend anyone looking to start in the industry, have an interest in property or simply want to brush up on knowledge and skills. I was very pleased overall with the course, and will recommend new skill academy to my friends.

    Kelly-Anne Tomlinson-Docherty

    Having just completed the Admin & PA diploma I feel far more equipped to start a new career. From covering the basics, to recapping on things forgotten to introducing new concepts this course has something for everyone.

    Shelley Tomkins

    I found the course straight forward and easy to follow.

    It’s given me a great understanding of first aid procedures and has outlined some important aspects of looking after pets in general. It paid particular attention to the description of the CPR procedure. I will come in very useful.

    The multi choice test at the end is easy to complete and I found the worksheets at the end of each module very helpful to outline the important aspects.
    I look forward to completing many more courses on offer to help progress my new dog walking and pet care business.

    Thank you.
