“I enjoyed studying online, after studying a teachers diploma in 1994 and doing a certificate in SDF in 2016. I have referred my daughter to study through you, she is currently doing 1 module in HR. I wouldn’t have made it if I didn’t get the help from a kind person, Michelle Germishuys. She made my studies very easy. Keep up the good work Michelle. When I struggled to understand certain questions you had a way of explaining them to me. When I panicked about time, you were there to assure me that I will make it in time to submit the FISA.”

“It has been a smooth and interesting journey with Academy of York. The staff were so friendly, communicative and encouraging all through my studies. Their response to calls and emails was so impressive which really gave me the strength to study and complete my course in Safety and Security Management. This course has broadened my knowledge and also provided opportunities in my field. Thanks AOY”

“It was very informative, AOY made it possible with facilitators available to assist whenever you needed and I could do it in my own time and pace. I’ve been working as a HS officer for almost 3 years with no certificate, with this certificate I can now be more confident in my position.”

“Wow, Wow I registered with AOY without knowledge and when I ended my programme, I found myself being a better person and more knowledgeable. Everybody was patient with me, I am really happy to be associated with this Institution.”

“Studying with Academy of York is the best. It doesn’t matter where you are you will always be one of them, always checking up on you as if you are the only student… Even right now, I’m still studying here. I’m doing my second module, I’m very happy… The other reason is because of bursary that they give learners Oooh . I don’t have enough words to thank this College. It’s a dream come true.”

“My study experience was a bit challenging, as my time was stipulated. With the AOY team, things became much easier as they benefited themselves in making things easy for me. I would like to extend my gratitude to Ms Mary and Mr. Benjamin for equipping me with necessary assistance, you are really doing a phenomenal job.”

“It was such an interesting journey, upgrading myself with a certificate in the comfort of my home. The support I received from the student coach was awesome.”

Academy of York is very professional and their student support is excellent. They checked up on me and when I didn’t understand something, they responded quickly to my questions. The staff are very friendly and nice. I really enjoyed studying through Academy of York! The study material was easy to understand!

“My study experience with AOY was amazing from the first day I consulted about this course. The student advisors are always willing to help and make sure you understand what you are asking about. To Mr Benjamin and his team, well done guys for the good service you provide to us. You always checked how far are we with our studies through calls and emails, this made it easier for me. I will for sure come back and further my studies. Thank you all.”

“ACADEMY OF YORK is the best College I have come across. The electronic communications are on point, I’d send an email and they’ll reply within no time. Thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to study with you.”

“At the age of 54 years young; it was indeed challenging. Perseverance and determination to succeed won over anxiety and fear. Thandi and Ziphi offered great support, especially the personal calls; it really made a difference for me in knowing they cared that I succeed.”

“After several unsuccessful attempts at various institutions I would like to extend my gratitude to Academy of York for equipping me with the necessary tools and assistance enabling me to complete my studies while having to work full-time, be a husband and a dad. I couldn’t have done it without my course coordinator Michelle Germishuys!!”

“Academy of York made my study journey more affordable and user-friendly, in such a way that it made me enjoy distance learning. I am currently working and I could not afford to study full time. I am glad that I had the full time support of my Student Advisors, Michelle and Mike who were always supportive in all my study endeavours…”

“Overall I enjoyed the course. I liked that everything was straight forward. There never was any confusion. Excellent service by Michelle whenever I had questions and needed advice about the course. Keep up the good work.”

Never in my life have I enjoyed learning like I did with AOY. The help you gave, made it easy for me to cope. Not once did I struggle to receive any assistance from you and that served as a motivation for me to finish my course…”

“Firstly, I would like to thank Academy of York for helping me achieve my certificate as SHE REP. Academy of York has been with me from the beginning to the end of the course. It was challenging, but their student support was excellent and they made it easy for me to understand. Thank you and keep it up Academy of York.”

“…What I love about AOY is the fact that even though it’s a Distance Learning Institute, (lecturers) communicate with students, checking progress of work and reminding us of submission of assignments well in advance. They encouraged me to contact them whenever I was confronted with challenges…”

“I had my first experience of distance learning with Academy of York. The experience was awesome. Friendly staff from their Student Advisors to Chishiba, who often calls to motivate students.  The Support Team is always available to assist when the need arises. I would recommend this Institution any day.”

“Studying at Academy of York was a journey I would love to take again. From the first day of my registration every step got communicated to me. They followed up to let you know what the next step will be. I really enjoyed being part of their family. Chishiba (Student Coach/Monitor) welcomed me warmly and that made me feel at home. I then started my course and I contacted Ziphi (Student Liaison Officer) she was very warm, very patient and very polite...”

“Studying with AOY was great, they made sure that all my questions were answered. They responded fast to my emails, I am very happy with their service. Thank you very much. With AOY anything is possible.”

I have learned so much about myself through this entire process and had to make changes that will make a huge impact to my career going forward…”

“I found the course easy to study, it was also easy to get in touch with the student advisors. I work full time and found that with correspondence learning one can study as well as work, as you study in your own time.”

The A.O.Y team are professional and provided prompt responses to my email queries.”
