Testimonials

  • I have thoroughly enjoyed the courses with Upskilled. I highly recommend a Diploma of IT online course to innovative students who are capable of conducting their own research. However, for those who are new to the IT field, I would suggest starting with Certificate III as it provides a strong foundational understanding. Upskilled has good instructors, with Russell standing out as an exceptional educator who goes above and beyond to help solve any networking-related issues.
