In recognition of students who stand out from the crowd, GetSmarter’s Notable Achievers campaign highlights a top-performing student each week.<\/p>\n

Belinda was chosen by our Student Success Team\u00a0for committing to the UCT Business Systems Analysis online short course<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0Despite wanting to defer in the beginning of this notoriously difficult course, Belinda achieved a distinction for the course.<\/p>\n

\"notable<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what she has to say about her experience:<\/p>\n

Why did you decide to take the UCT online short course?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve had certain Business Analysis experience on a project and felt that it would be beneficial to my career to broaden my knowledge. Coming from a finance background and having an interest in IT the short course suited my needs perfectly.<\/p>\n

What were your concerns before enrolling on the UCT Business System Analysis online short course? How were your concerns alleviated and why?<\/strong>
\nI was concerned about fitting the course into my already busy schedule. Halfway through the course, I began a new contract where I was working long hours. I communicated this with my Success Manager, Megan. She was very supportive and helpful. This course helped me to improve my time management skills as well.<\/p>\n

What aspects are you enjoying about learning online with GetSmarter?<\/strong>
\nI enjoyed GetSmarter’s online learning environment. They combined different methods of learning like video tutorials, written notes and the online small group discussions. I found it very useful that the assignment content not only ensured an understanding of the module covered but also required me to apply the knowledge I’ve learnt.<\/p>\n

How do you plan to use the skills you learned on this course in your career?<\/strong>
\nSince completing the course I’ve gotten a full-time job that combines my finance background and IT experience. The course has helped me feel more equipped to pursue this new career direction.<\/p>\n

What does it mean to you to earn a UCT certificate?<\/strong>
\nI’m very proud to earn a UCT certificate.
\nHaving obtained my degree and a postgraduate degree from UCT I know that its standards are high and it has a good reputation.<\/p>\n

Will you be displaying your certificate?<\/strong>
\nFor sure ?<\/p>\n

Our Student Success Team identified you as being an outstanding student. Why do you think you are a Notable Achiever and what advice can you give to others looking to do this course?<\/strong>
\nI think that despite my heavy workload during the course I managed my time well and worked consistently. My advice to others doing the course would be to manage your time well and have a balance between work, studying and leisure time.<\/p>\n

\n
Want to accelerate your career and stand out as a GetSmarter\u00a0Notable Achiever?<\/h5>\n
