I did a counselling skills level 2 course through The Skills Network. Everyone was pleasant throughout the process. The online portal was easy to use and the feedback from my tutor was fair and back in a reasonable time. The course was funded by a local college (Swindon College in my instance) so it was free to me, the best price! Ultimately the course was engaging and interesting and well worth my time. I would highly recommend.

I thought the course was excellent and easy to navigate online, making it ideal for anyone who wants to start a course quickly and do it in their own time.
Feedback for assignments was quick and the course content was sufficiently challenging.

I completed a digital marketing course and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was designed to cover every possible aspect that would allow me to competently work independently after the course. I will be using my new skills in my small business marketing campaign.
I would highly recommend the course to anyone who has the time to do it. I personally worked on it in the evenings instead of watching T.V it was a very beneficial use of my time.

It has been great and wonderful experience learning on the skills network. The whole process of learning made me a big impact to enhance my knowledge and skills, it boost my self confidence as well as self and professional improvement that is relevant to my role as a health care assistant. After completing this course I am more competent and confident enough to administer medication in a residential unit where I work. Thank you so much!

I enjoyed the course and feel like I have learnt a lot about the different struggles that children and young people go through. I did find the course difficult some times due to the fact that my son took his own life a few years ago, so while learning about the different things that children can struggle with I could see how my son may have been struggling from an early age with his mental health. The course tutors were very helpful and understanding and I really appreciate that. I found the home learning good as you can go at your own pace.

My course was great! Good information, excellent resources and fantastic support. Every one I spoke to at the centre when I needed help was very supportive, helpful and professional! The whole process was a pleasure and their staff are awesome!

I had intended to do a course online for guidance in advertising on social media, and when I saw this one I dived in because it was government funded! However, the course turned out to be probably well worth the total, combined cost of all of the others I saw online! I absolutely loved taking this course: the content was thorough, comprehensively covering all aspects of social media advertising, different platforms and tests at the end of each of the several sections. Each of these sections were centred on a different topic, and the feedback from the tests was extremely helpful, pointing out both my weak points and my strong points. Also, whenever I needed guidance, the staff at the centre were all extremely helpful, friendly and patient; plus the deadlines for each section were flexible, so I could ask them to move it forward a few days, or more, if it was necessary (which, of course, it frequently was!) When I completed the course I received a certificate online and then ongoing help with webinars on things like future guidance, CV improvement guidance where a really helpful specialist helped me to make truly positive progress with my CV! I can't thank the Skills Network enough for the whole, excellent experience, which has very positively improved my career prospects and knowledge. I give them all 10 out of 10! Thanks!!

Easy enrolment, great learning platform and good support. Not always as timely as I had hoped but I got there.
Many thanks

I really enjoyed this course and tutor feedback and support. What stopped a five star review was the course started while I was holiday so was behind from day 1 and found the deadlines too tough to meet while working full time and it nearly destroyed my sanity. If this hadn’t happened, I would have loved every minute.

I completed a course with the Skills Network between Sept and Dec 2024. The course was well set out, easy to follow, and feedback was quick. I really enjoyed my course and would do another with The Skills Network.
