Dear Shereen, Thank you so much for your help and support during my first year. I really value your guidance. Whatโs the plan for next year and where do we go from now? I would like to pay for my 2nd year. When does the 2nd year start? Kind Regards, Graeme | Good day, My name is Lonwabo, I am 20 years of age. Earlier This year I completed a National Certificate in Sports Management through eta Distance Learning. For the first three months of 2017, I was at the eta Cape Town campus but decided to switch my studies to an online platform of which worked exceptionally well for me. Distance Learning taught me how to manage my time, think outside the box and the professionalism required in the industry. I truly believe online studies is the way forward. A friend of mine saw how I enjoyed it and he became interested in going the same direction when he matriculates. Getting fellow youngsters, or even perhaps older members of society to study through eta would be a dream come true. My heart beats for eta, I hope this finds you well Lonwabo |
Good day Janice, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and eta as I have learned a great deal through eta Collegeโs Distance learning program. I still use the notes and templates from previous assignments and CASS assessments to assist me with running an amateur club now. I would definitely do it all again but only difference I would manage my time better. I honestly struggled in the second year especially after the college switched a paperless system, but then got into it. Thank you for setting me on course for achieving my life goals and dreams, Kindest regards, Kabelo | My time as an eta Distance Learning student has been as follows: My two years have been good. eta Distance Learning department has been an excellent experience, the tutor has been excellent in helping me out with where I did not understand what to do, would always take her time to try explain in the best way possible which was a great help in me doing well, the management of eta DL has been great as well, as well as very helpful and patient and yet also understanding which is a good thing. The responsiveness whether it be queries or just general work-based advice has been great, they respond as soon as they can. The eta Connect student study portal has been very efficient and easy to use and is always a great thing because there's not one time I got confused about what was required of me to been done. The standard that eta Distance Learning upholds is great and will be a great help for any student enrolled at the college. Thanks, Kirsten |
Dear Chris, I wanted to share my online experience with you. eta Distance Learning is well ahead technology-wise WRT to the programs they are using, which really helps a lot. Unfortunately, I was wrongly registered for the coaching instead of the certificate of fitness, but that was quickly rectified by Shireen I think, and luckily, I did not miss anything or jeopardized anything relating to my studies. I am very fond of the dashboard as it is user-friendly, reminds you of assignments, tests, announcements etc. The tutor Aubrey Stout was very helpful. He would respond swiftly to my numerous questions and assist via online chats. So far I had a great experience which will come to an end in November. Thank you, eta Distance Learning, for giving me quality education! Regards, Bernadette. |
