More detail could be given in the course book relating to the assessments and recommended readings would have been useful to give more insight. Although the text book gave insight to the relevant legislation it did not correlate directly with the assessments. It was also not the most up to date version.
On researching this the book is available in print for less than the charge through the academy. The course notes also need formatting to suit the printed copies.
The course in general provided revision and overall knowledge for NZ.
Certificate in personnel management and hr
Moodle was easy to use and easy to complete and submit coursework. The course book and notes were laid out easily.

The best part of studying with the Career Academy was the amazing tutors. Blessings and Tracey are absolutely remarkable there help and guidance is amazing and are purely a massive asset to your team. The support and encouragement they give is amazing. I take my hat off to them. I loved learning online my busy crazy lifestyle. Learning two accounting software programs at the end of the Certificate Business management course, I believe is a massive ask to anyone. You just get your hear around one and then straight back to another.

I enjoyed the flexibility of studying in my own time online. The course was interesting and certainly increased my knowledge and understanding of running a small business. When I sent an email question the response time was very prompt which I appreciated. Sometimes the wording explaining things or what was expected in assignments wasn’t always clear. Even down to little details such as on the finial assignment there is an Excel Cash Conversion cycle tracking sheet and I had to input the figures a column down as the formula was set up with the incorrect cell number. (I know it is only a tiny detail but it took me a few minutes to try and figure out why things weren’t adding up!)

I chose to study with the career academy because of all the courses i was offered it seemed like the best option The Financial Statements section of the course wasn't partoculary clear to follow and was very different to what we were learning at school
Heeni Wilmshurst –
as it was an online course i could work at my own pace and fit the study into everyday life. plus being able to pay it off is great! it all seems pretty good to me
Trivana Moses –
I chose the Career Academy because it is a great fit for my lifestyle as a full-time mother and it is also affordable.
I chose to study the course content within my own pace and own hours, its great!
The tutors are also very helpful within help emails and assessment feedbacks, they also respond within a reasonable time and make sure you are getting the help you are seeking within your course material etc..

The course worked for me as working full time, being able to the course in my own time.

So far the tutor has been very helpful polite and inviting, the course so far has been a refreshing brain challenger.

The structure and user friendliness of the course, easy to understand course material and links to pertinent resources. Very responsive feedback and positive encouragement from tutors.

I haven’t required the help from any tutors yet as I’ve just started but it is a good course for starting out in business management

The course is very interesting and can see how I could apply the knowledge even if I wasn’t managing a business.The tutors do an excellent job as I can ask them questions and they reply quickly. Thanks so much!!
Jorden O’Brien –
My course is just starting to kick off and I’m enjoying studying again after not doing it for a couple of years. My tutors that I have dealt with so far have been great help and always fast at replying. Everything has been great!
Sheena Smith –
I have only had the tutors call me a few times but they were pretty helpful. The best part of the course is the step-by-step instructions, particularly in the videos, because the visual explanation makes the content easier to understand. I am happy with the resources I have received from the Career Academy.
Joel garton –
it is great but i think i could be better i we were given examples of what is expected of us in the assignments.
Ngawaka Bluegum –
excellent tutors who give good comments
Teigan Bill –
Most of the tutors are great and give great feedback which lets me know what I need to do better.
Joel Garton –
What amazes me about this course is how quick the assignments are marked.
Victoria Haley –
So far the course is amazing! Course material is easy to understand and interpret, the tutors are friendly and easy to reach when needed.
A highly recommend to others thinking about studying!
Jorden O’Brien –
So far, everything has been great. Every tutor and support person to that I have spoken to, in my short time studying with The Career Academy has been very helpful, polite and easy to talk too.
Kayla Kaka –
The tutors are very helpful and supportive – I found the website for the course easy to use as well. I have recommended the Career Academy to my friends and family.
Donna East –
Really helpful tutors and you can do it in your own time without added pressure.
Velocette Callan –
Some of the course information needs to be looked over as there are spelling mistakes, and sometimes it can be hard to understand as there are a few times that only half a word is in there. Otherwise very good course.
Sari Turley –
Good-but dont mark the assignments very quickly.
Fyar Mcgregor –
this course is good getting my brain working.. i havent used tutors yet
Carrie Mazey –
Great i love how i can work full time and do my studies when i get free time
Lisa Washington –
Really good so far! Nice content and fast replies from tutors.
Eric Reynolds –
Pretty good course, the tutors have been constructive in their feedback which I find helpful. I’m taking this alongside another course and there is some overlap between them, which is fine, but it would be helpful to be able to combine them into one individual course in terms of course completion and progress.
Aroha Raynel –
Good course and tutors! It’s challenging, but in a good way.
Jouelle Mosby –
The course is good. Finding the time is hard but overall I am enjoying my experience. Since I enrolled in the course the website (Moodle) has been updated and it’s been a really great improvement, there’s so much more information to refer to.
Shelley Martin –
The course is going well , I am learning a lot. The content is good as well, it provides a broad overview of the information. I am new to the subject so I would like to see the course go more in depth sometimes, as the assessments can be challenging.
Krystal Moana Aroha Kohu –
That first module was easy but after that it’s definitely a bit challenging.
Annette Clark –
Really good, awesome course!
Gemma Dally –
Haven’t completed the course yet but so far the feedback I’ve been given is great, it’s prompt and doesn’t take ages to get.
Tom Crosbie –
Good course and enjoying it. On a difficult part at the moment but it is really enjoyable.
Carrie Mazey –
great the accounting a little challenging but love how flexible it is as i work full time
Laura Evans –
Course is good but I am looking forward to studying the modules which don’t include Accounting (as have done a bit of accounting already). Haven’t had any correspondence with the tutors so cannot comment on that.
Jayne Pinamonti –
I needed a correspondence course which could be completed in my own time but was not too long. It covered all the topics I needed to manage and run a small hospo business in the future. Also it offered an introduction to Xero accounting software which I’d like to use in my business.
Teresa Poa –
So far so good. I’ve just started but there are alot of resources and tips to support you through.
Priscilla Rossiter –
this course is great i do get stuck on some questions but the tutors reply back nearly straight away, They are a huge help and i love doing this course. Since doing this course i’ve learnt alot of new things i have also recommended it to all my friends.
Ricadonna Rauahi –
Very helpful and quickly to reply
Ashleigh Riley –
So far so good, I’ve just submitted my first assessment. Waiting for it to be marked now, hopefully I did ok. I’m definitely looking forward to the next module and I’m already thinking about what other courses I would like to do 🙂
Jacqueline Fraser-Haerewa –
Thank you Career Academy for been such a awesome place to study. I am currently studying Cert in Business management and Diploma in Office management and administration. The staff have fantastic ad very helpful. I just love how the academy offers payments as that is what got me and the hours been part time so I can still focus on my 7week old.
Thank you Career Academy for helping me further my studies. Just brilliant and will be recommending to others 🙂
