“The course gave me more knowledge about project management in my current position at work. I could study in my own time and I could pay my studies off monthly, where with other institutions you must pay the whole course before you start the course.”
“It was a great experience to study with A.O.Y, and I hope to register again soon.”
“My experience was great. I am proud to say that I have achieved my course and I am excited to see what the future holds for me.”
”I was fairly clueless of what I was getting myself into by agreeing to do correspondence studying. My fanatical support coach was very patient, supportive and encouraging even when I did not reach deadlines on time and on days when I wanted to give up, I was treated with respect and courtesy. The experience was overwhelmingly good. Thank you, Academy of York.”
“I have gained so much experience, not only for my career only but also for my small business!”
“Thanks to AOY I will be able to create the best possible future for my family!”
“It was absolutely great. The journey was made easier with the support and understanding I got from the institution”
“The course is suitable for students who are employed and don’t have enough time to attend classes. For me, A.O.Y went the extra mile in making sure I was enjoying my studies. Thank you!”
“I have improved now with the certificate I got, I even got promoted to the third level of my posistion.”
“I really enjoyed studying with Academy of York. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who need to improve their knowledge. One of the things that make A.O.Y stand out from the rest is their friendly fanatical support team and affordable courses. Keep on doing a good work.”
