What our learners say

The Monster Academy course was noted as valuable experience from my new employer and was referred to in the interview.

I also sent a portfolio of writing as part of my successful speculative application which included the writing tasks I had completed as part of the course. My learning from the course definitely helped me with the writing task as part of the application process too.
