Learner feedback
“ The data centre manager version of me that started out on the Masters Degree three years ago is virtually unrecognisable to the one that exists today . My company has already gained back its investment in the Masters Degree in leaps and bounds and I can honestly say the entire experience has set me up in a really good way for the rest of my career .”
“ I ’ ve been thoroughly impressed with the amount of resources made available to distance learners . It ’ s the first course of this kind where I didn ’ t FEEL like a distance learner .”
