I have successfully finished the CERT III in Information Technology course offered by this institution. The teachers are amazing and very helpful. I enjoyed studying with Upskilled because the online course content was up to date in the field of information technology, interesting, and engaging which makes me want to come back again with Upskilled and proceed to study with the Diploma Course in IT. Studying with Upskilled accelerated my logical and critical thinking skills and enhanced my skills faster. In addition, Shane Alexander served as a reliable advisor, which was an important factor in my success in achieving my goals and objectives. He was an excellent educational consultant who assisted me in making accurate decisions regarding my course selection and ensured that it was appropriate for my skills and interests. If you are looking to study online with instructors who have relevant experience, this is a good place to start.
