Amazing experience, Just Fantastic

I recently completed an SQL course, and I can confidently say it was a fantastic experience. The course was well-structured, starting with the basics of SQL and gradually moving into more advanced topics like joins, subqueries, and database normalization. Each module built on the previous one, making it easy to follow and absorb.What stood out the most was the hands-on approach—working on real-world queries and datasets helped me truly understand how SQL is used in practical scenarios. The instructor BRIGHT CHAVALALA explained concepts clearly and were always available to answer questions, which made the learning environment very supportive, he is truly a professionalBy the end of the course, I felt confident writing complex queries, analyzing data, and even optimizing database performance. It’s a skill I now use regularly, and it’s opened doors to new opportunities in my professional life.I’d highly recommend this course to anyone looking to build or strengthen their SQL skills. Whether you're a beginner or someone looking to polish your knowledge, this course delivers value every step of the way. -

The overall learning experience has been extremely rewarding for me.
This course took me on an exhilarating coding journey, where learning became a thrilling adventure through hands-on, real-world projects that made programming both engaging and enjoyable. Through this course i learned how to adequately program applications with the use of C#, SQL databases and ASP.NET Frameworks. -

This course really helped me alot, ad the process was very convenient and the teacher was patient and willing Which makes the whole experience much better and takes off the stress off your shoulders, the class I was studying really helped me in my workplace which was the main reason I signed up, so I would definitely recommend this school and course for anyone that is trying to exceed in the workplace and even if you just want to better yourself for personal reasons this will definitely help you and it most definitely worth the money, it's an investment in yourself and your future. And for those with busy schedules this course fits right in because I did mine while at work and few hours a day for a few weeks is definitely a small price to pay to be able to better yourself the only drawback I would say it the loadsheding issues that might postpone your learning time but if you can get over that then this course is definitely for you -

I started an MS Access intro online courses at School of IT on the 6th of May 2022 and it consisted of a 4 hour course with a minimum of 2 hours per lesson. WOW what an amazing experience. I had one of the best lectures that a person can find my lecture explained everything in detail and was extremely patient with me seeing that I didn't understand anything of Access. He made time for me on his schedule and that also fitted into my schedule. What more can a person ask for? There is so much I can go on and saying that how I would recommend School of It to everyone. I finished my last lesson on Friday 13th of May 2022 and I can't wait to enroll into the next course I'm going to do. 5 out of 5 for the outstanding performance, and kindness that everyone at School of It has shown towards me. -

I stumbled across School of IT by luck, and do not have a single regret! I completed the Introduction to C# course which I thoroughly enjoyed. The one on one lessons were perfect. My tutor, Marco, was a gem, very polite, easy to talk to, and very motivating. His patience helped me understand the practicals we went through, which I am very grateful for. I would definitely recommend School of IT and hopefully, will enroll for the advanced course once I am comfortable with implementing and understanding what I have learnt thus far. -

High quality teaching
Read more Read less of Reece Dell's review
I had a wonderful experience doing the C# software development course through School of IT. My instructor Marco was knowledgeable and patient. The content gave me a firm foundation in C# and the exercises were engaging. Marco and I also developed some WPF games, building on content we had covered up to that point. This was really enjoyable as I could practice my skills with a really fun activity. The one on one classes are great because the pace can be adjusted to suit the learner. I personally already had some coding experience so we could move quickly through the introductory content and spend more time on other topics I struggled with. However, the course is structured so that anyone at any level of experience will benefit from the course. As I was still completing a university degree during the course it was great that I could schedule lessons that suited my timetable. Learning through School of IT was definitely worthwhile and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to learn coding. -

This course was INCREDIBLE ! Powerful, Effective and Pure Value for Money are a few terms which describe my wonderful experience. School Of IT is uniquely dynamic in that they are extremely flexible and fit into your time. My mentor/lecturer Yadhir was very enthusiastic and provided an interactive practical learning experience which allowed me to gain the knowledge I needed. I had a remarkable time with Yadhir on behalf of the School Of IT. I can't wait to grow further in my IT Career as a Software Engineer. I highly recommend this course with no debate, I will rate this course a 10 out of 10!
YES! All the knowledge I wanted and more. I gathered a bundle of fundamentals and Software Industry Knowledge. Before I started the course I only knew HTML and a little bit of CSS. However, after my course I acquired the solid foundation of software full stack engineering. This solid foundation will easily allow me to expand my knowledge.
My Lecturer Yadhir is currently a Professional Software Engineer in the industry. This experience added to the job-ready skills Yadhir has shared with me. A few characteristics will be discovered by anyone who knows Yadhir are that he is:
- Extremely knowledgeable in the material he teaches
- Creates a culture of learning
- Teaches problem solving skills critical for any Software Engineer
- Genuinely Passionate about Software Engineering
- Open to the idea of Dynamic Learning
Thank you very much Yadhir
My time at the School Of IT was definitely value for my money. I was trained to be a job-ready software engineer and indirectly trained to acquire and internationally accredited certification. From no technical knowledge to Full Stack Software Engineer with international accreditation in under 6 months…Truly changed my life. Thank You School Of IT and Yadhir!

I chose to do the Software Development course through School of IT because I felt it was the best choice for me, as you can choose your coding language. I chose java and learnt it over 3 months. We covered intro, intermediate and advanced concepts of software development. The pros about School of IT and the course was the flexibility. My mentor contacted me with a few hours of registering and we arranged times and dates that fitted into my schedule. Which was great! I loved the fact that the course was 99% practically based. We worked through examples all the time. I would highly recommend School of IT to all my friends as it would be the perfect platform of success for them in IT.
