The Skills Network Opiniões 2249

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I had a bit of a wobble initially as it had been a while since studying, I needed a deadline extension and it was no issue at all. After that I loved it, I gained a lot of knowledge and understanding from it. The tutors I dealt with - Louise and Emma were fantastic, great feedback, information and patience from them. I would advise to find out for yourself and not be put off by any negative reviews, you do need to commit and have time to do the courses as deadlines to meet. I received my certificate within days and have applied to do my next one, hopefully very soon.

Absolutely discussed by this company. I declared a disability on the application form. Requested reasonable adjustments of extra time. No official plan was put in place. Pushy, unhelpful staff. Failing an assement based on their own inabilty to follow the law and lack of support. Will constantly hound you will emails about assements despite poor support and unrealistic expectations and deadlines. Keep well away. Like a money making scheme rather than respectable educational facility.

I enjoyed the course; however, do be aware that, depending on how thorough you are with your study and response, the course may last longer than is suggested. I am one such learner that struggled to reduce the time, so I wasn't meeting deadlines. The Skills Network were absolutely brilliant with this issue, however, and offered extensions, advice and reassurance, because their priority was for me to complete the course successfully. I have done a couple of courses with this organisation now and although stressed at times with how long it took me to complete each module, I am really pleased to have done it and will be doing another course in the future. Please be aware that we all study differently. For me, I enjoy face to face with discussion alongside remote learning, which is not something that comes readily on an online course. Furthermore, we all study differently and take our studies either casually or more seriously, so how long it takes to complete the course will vary. All in all, I would recommend this course as preparation for further study or simply as a taster for acquiring new knowledge and skill.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!
I was accepted for a free course back in September, however they didn't enroll me onto a course until late November.
Due to personal commitments I am not able to complete the course in December and they will only let me delay for two weeks, or I have to pay a £100 cancellation fee.
So it's ok for them to delay for weeks/months but "learners" are not allowed to!
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!

This is my 5th level 2 course I've completed with The Skills Network. I've also completed a level 3. I can't fault the process from start to finish. Support on hand whenever you need it.
Already planning to enrol on another course in the new year .

I learnt a great deal at such a short interval.

The feedback from the assessor was really informative and helpful enabling me to finish the course within the time scale. The learning information in the course was very good and the links too. There was always someone at the end of the phone to help if needed. My knowledge at the end of the course was greatly improved and definitely up to date. It was an extensive course but well worth taking. I received my certificate a week after receiving my final assessment.

I have loved very course I have been involved with. The content is very involved and interactive. You can identify the material could be used in practice situation. I was in a low point in my life and these courses have helped me tremendously in terms of learning another skill set I attended a Counselling skills course and Awareness of Bullying in Children and Young Children Course (Level 2). I felt supported during the experience.

I really enjoyed the course, it’s really informative and interesting. A good learning experience. Amazing

This course was really helpful: I already had some knowledge of neurodiversity, ASC, and distressed behaviour, but this course gave me a deeper understanding and greater confidence in the legislation and theory of distressed behaviour. It also gave excellent strategies and tools to help those supporting a child with neurodiversity and/or distressed behaviour. I took the course to prepare for a career in residential foster care after almost 10 years in secondary mainstream learning support, but a plot twist means I am now using the skills and knowledge as a 1:1 education mentor. I would recommend this course to anyone working with children and young people. I would advocate for all senior leadership members in education to take the course so they can better understand the challenges our children and educators face today!

Oh. And my tutor? Chef's kiss. Absolute legend of a woman: amazing feedback that was specific, encouraging, and aimed to help me reach my personal goals.

I am still awaiting my certification and I completed the course in August. I have had no emails or calls from your institution which I find to be quite disrespectful considering we have deadlines for submissions. You should have deadlines for interactions.

I had to wait a while for my fully funded course to come through, but when it did, it was very much worth the wait. While the course was delivered through presentations and videos, I think the planning, wording, and structure was clear and easy to follow, and the support was very much human and personal. I appreciated all the check-ins, and the feedback.

While studying, I was able to test out my new skills in real time as I picked up some related work. The team I was working with were impressed by what I was able to deliver, and I will have more work with them next year.

The course has also given me the confidence to create my own opportunities using what I have learned.

The course was really enjoyable and relevant to my future career aspirations however when originally booking the course it said it was 12 weeks and approx. 5 hours a week, but once I started I had only one week per assignment and I was spending over 12 hours a week studying.
The other issue I had was not getting feedback from the tutor very quickly and when I contacted for further help, I almost missed a deadline as they didn't get back to me. Finally a lot of the links to the associated websites were t working which meant further time finding the information I needed.

The course was very informative indeed. I learned a great deal. The links to relevant charities were helpful in understanding what support is available for children experiencing mental health conditions. This is a subject area I have wanted to learn more about for some time.
The tutorial support was also very good. I felt encouraged to achieve my full potential.
I am now studying an in-person part-time Level 2 Counselling Skills course. Therefore the digital study skills achieved on this course has been good preparation.

I loved the course can’t wait to do another really really happy with the help and better understanding about mental health

These are my first courses in England. The entire system feels completely new. I applied for the course and, like everyone else, waited for funding, which was thankfully confirmed. I enrolled in the TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Introducing Caring for Children and Young People (RQF). The course also began during my holiday. Overall, the content is presented clearly, with modules logically organised. Studying one topic took quite a while, about two hours. The answers were roughly the same. When you're working, it's really difficult. I knew I had to cover as much as possible during my holiday because I wouldn't have time while working. My answers were checked on time. The first module was sent back for revision, but I passed modules 2 and 3 comfortably. I ran into a problem with the last module. I saved my answers after each question but left a few questions and decided to take a break. When I tried to continue, I found that nothing had been saved. I was incredibly upset because it was a huge effort. I sat down to write the next evening. I double-checked three responses, and suddenly they were gone too. I contacted support, who responded quickly and offered a solution. I was able to finish the course faster, which was great. I already work in a kindergarten, but I wasn't familiar with all the information. Sadly, my company didn't accept the course, but it was a positive experience for me.

The Learning platform of the Skills network is simple to comprehend and chronological but requires you to reflect on content read and but what is learnt into real life context. Taking the course in the order they are presented helps you build rhythm and interest as you proceed. Support team listened to my concerns and made suggestions to help me progress in my learning. When I was faced with some difficulties they listened to my concerns and extended the submission of my assessment with reasonable time or to pay the full cost of the course, but I chose the former. Lean organisation management has a link with software development, especially with Agile Project Management and Scrum. I recommend this course to those interested in managing teams and building valuable products.

Great experience and my assessor Gemma was excellent turning my submissions around so quickly and giving really valuable feedback.

Like many others the only thing preventing it from being 5* was the crazy short deadlines.
I had a 2 week holiday during the course which put me behind from module 2 and I never caught up.
I had applied, was waiting 3 months for funding them when it came the timing was just terrible.

That said, great assessor, great training materials and very responsive customer service.
I would use again but I’d be more prepared for how short the deadlines are.

I had a good experience. The course was very informative and the feedback was effective, practical and helpful.
