How are you enjoying the course so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have to admit that I have been pleasantly surprised by the online learning environment. I was very skeptical before the course started, as I was not sure if I would be motivated enough to put in the hours on my own, however the course is very relevant. It is exactly what I need to know and understand in my everyday activities. It\u2019s like GetSmarter tailor-made the course for me. But keep in mind that it is also very challenging and there is lots of work to cover every week.<\/p>\n

Why did you decide to take the UCT IT Management online short course with GetSmarter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My supervisor nominated me for this course.<\/p>\n

How do you plan to use the skills you learn on this course in your career?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t need to plan at all as I have already been able to apply the concepts and skills I learned from the very first week. I understand my work much better now. Because of this I can truly say that the course is making a difference to me.<\/p>\n

What does it mean to you to earn a UCT certificate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It means a lot to me because UCT is, after all, the top university on our continent.<\/p>\n

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

I most definitely will be hanging it up in my office for all to see.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
