“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 was phenomenal. Super easy to get along with and incredibly knowledgeable. He was always prompt with marking assessments and was always quick to respond if I was having any issues. “ - Shayne-Maree L.

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. They 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.” - Brendan N.
