Testimonials

“Completed a Cert IV Networking. From day 1 it has been an extremely user friendly student portal. Taking on study was definitely a challenge when it came to my personal life due to working full time and not being able to go into classes. Lumify gave me the opportunity to complete study without leaving my house providing an all online course with access to a support trainer to help guide me through some challengers. I was assigned Daniel Armstrong who really went above and beyond to see me through until the end. Bringing in a great attitude toward the I.T world and sharing his knowledge and experience to the younger/ new generation of I.T experts. Will be back to complete a Diploma.” - Brendan N.

“I've recently completed a Cert IV in IT (Networking). As a full-time working mum, this wouldn't have been possible without the flexibility of the course offered by Lumify Learn. My trainer Dan was phenomenal. Super easy to get along with and incredibly knowlegeable. He was always prompt with marking assessments and was always quick to respond if I was having any issues. I am looking forward to seeing where this course will take me, and I have not yet ruled out further study with Lumify Learn!” - Shay-Maree L.

“Almost Completed my Cert 3, Jumping straight into Cert 4 Networking. My Teacher has been very helpful and friendly, supporting me the whole way through my learning journey and being flexible with early or even late meetings as required.

As well as the student support team helping me to rectify any software issues or odd requests i had throughout. So far it has been a fantastic experience and i look forward to continuing my journey!” - Cameron G.

“I completed my Diploma in IT (Advanced Networking) with Lumify and I cannot be more happy. I had access to a trainer ever week via virtual meetings and could email them questions throughout the week and i would get a response super quick. This was key to my success during this diploma as I tend to procrastinate. They were also super understanding as my situation changed during the diploma and my second child was born which made things super difficult. Thank you Lumify for a great experience.” - Andy
