About University of the Witwatersrand

English is my second language and this course assisted me by improving my grammar and fluency, especially working for a corporate company where it has enhanced my professionalism. This progress is a major motivator to continue my path towards achieving my goals. Business and life are all about learning, growing, and evolving; learning to embrace flexibility and allowing for a time of re-evaluation to take place. This course enhanced my skill set and I have gained a lot of new knowledge.

I have an aspiration of starting a family business and the idea is gaining momentum because of the new things I have learned from this course. Proper planning, taking time to do research, and testing the water are some of the things that made me realise that running a business demands leadership, patience, empathy and dedication. An organisation needs to improve its products and services to meet ever-growing changes or demands. You have revived my passion to study further. Thanks to the DigitalCampus team.

For me it has helped me a lot, I have learnt most of the things I never learned before in accounting and I was very interested. I am glad I chose this course. Now I am confident and ready to go and apply what in have learnt on this course. I always had a problem when studying accounting because I never had a good start or base. But now I can actually work on my own and it’s all thanks to this course.

The course has provided me with an understanding of the digital landscape and the importance of continued monitoring and responsiveness to client needs. With the knowledge I have gained through this course I feel a step or two ahead of the market. I have learned that old dogs can still learn new tricks. Thank you all for your prompt responses and the efficient manner in which your course is conducted.

This was a brilliant course and just what I sought in order to understand the financials of a business operation better, especially from a company secretarial perspective. Initially, I thought that 12 weeks was a long time, but how time flies. It was indeed challenging to try and complete weekly assignments while holding a full-time job (and being a parent, housewife, and going through November exams with my child). However, I had to make a plan. Overall, this was well worth it from a learnings (and cost) perspective.Thank you!

My initial thoughts of the course were that it will be one of those typical courses where you learn but will not be able to apply what you have learnt. I was however pleasantly surprised. I learnt so much that I am able to follow and give input in our budget planning sessions. This course came at the right time for me. I understand the finance function a little bit better and am more confident and able to participate in discussions I would not have before. I will now be able to put together my own budget and be able to advise line managers on their own budgets.

At first I was nervous but after module two I started enjoying everything about the course, and now I have a better understanding of operations management. Having the Wits brand in my CV will be a huge boost in confidence; the knowledge will make me highly marketable.

This course has empowered me so much that I can see myself as a logistics manager in the future; the organisation I will manage will never fall apart because I have learnt all the types of wastes and how to avoid them so you can benefit in business. I would like to say thank you to DigitalCampus for this opportunity, honestly I never thought that I would receive such information. Now I’m more excited in doing my job and looking forward to growing in my department.

The course has exceeded my expectation as this was the first online course I’ve completed. The module zero content clarified and covered a lot of what to expect and clearly defines the process.
The complete course was relevant, informative, and gave me a lot of insight and the foundation needed to help me in my future roles. It has given me the understanding of terms and techniques I experience while deployed in the project team. Indeed, the DigitalCampus courses are credible, accessible, and applicable. Well done to the team. I’m looking forward to advanced project management courses.

The flexible learning has been a refreshing experience. The video seminars have been very informative and educational. It has put the whole environment of operations management in a broader context for me. We are currently doing Lean and Six Sigma training in my organisation. This course has put these tools into the context of the broader organisational objective as opposed to just a functional improvement effort. This has been one of the best learning experiences for me.
