In addition, I thoroughly enjoy expanding my knowledge in areas I feel will benefit my future career.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>What were your concerns before enrolling on the course? How were your concerns alleviated and why?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">My concern with this course was that it was all done online &#8211;\u00a0I have never done any learning or studying through online correspondence. My fear going into this course was that if I had any questions, would they be answered and how long would the response take?\u00a0This was quickly alleviated when I posted a question and my question was answered in a very short period of time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>What aspects did you enjoy about learning online with GetSmarter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I thoroughly enjoyed the small group discussions, it was great being able to offer my views to fellow students as well as gain more knowledge through people&#8217;s personal corporate experiences. I feel learning through people&#8217;s experiences is such a great practical way to see the theory in action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Are you doing this course for personal or professional objectives? If so what are they and have you felt you have been able to achieve them with this course?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I did this course for both personal and professional objectives. Personal objectives being that I wanted to expand my knowledge, I love to learn something every day. I feel education is such a great gift and a person can never stop learning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Professional objective to help me gain beneficial knowledge to become the best warehouse manager I can be, for the benefit of both myself and the company.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Our Student Success Team identified you as being an outstanding student. Why do you think you are a Notable Achiever and how do you continue to do well on the course?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I think I am a Notable Achiever because of my application of my experiences to the theory taught in every module as well as keeping my overall module percentages above a certain average. In order to continue to do well I&#8217;m taking feedback from the marker of my assignments and practically applying the corrections to the next assignment.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>Interested in the University of Cape Town Supply Chain Management online short course?<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><div class=\"related-programme-block\">\n<div class=\"related-programme\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/courses\/za\/uct-supply-chain-management-short-course', '_blank')\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12 col-md-11\">\n            <div class=\"related-programme__school-logo-container\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/universities\/university-of-cape-town\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"related-programme__school-logo-link\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/UCT_logo.png\" alt=\"School Logo\" class=\"related-programme__school-logo\">\n            <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"related-programme__copy\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/universities\/university-of-cape-town\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"related-programme__school-name\">\n                University of Cape Town (UCT)            <\/a><br>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/courses\/za\/uct-supply-chain-management-short-course\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"related-programme__programme-name\">\n                Supply Chain Management online short course            <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-md-1 related-programme__chevron-column\">\n            <div class=\"related-programme__icon-container\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"add-btn\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/blog\/assets\/icn_arrow-circle_right.svg\" alt=\"Read More Icon\">\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read about Renee&#8217;s experience on the UCT Supply Chain Management online short course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":2241,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[122],"article-format":[],"class_list":["post-510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-career-advice","tag-business-management"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
