Stuart Marshall
Reason for enrolling
I was leaving my previous role of team leader in a contact centre and wanted to start a new career that ultimately would set me up for the rest of my life.
When I was looking back at my career, the one thing that I enjoyed the most was my involvement in projects, which in turn led me to looking into project management courses and qualifications.
I found Learning People online and when I read all about the courses you offered and looked at the reviews online and testimonials on the blog it became apparent very quickly that Learning People were the ones that I wanted to obtain the qualifications with to set me up for the rest of my career.
Career Services
I found the team extremely helpful, especially with understanding what I was looking for in terms of landing a new role. From the very first phone call that I had with Rachel, I found that she was extremely understanding of what it was that I wanted to do. She assisted me on a weekly basis through the different stages of my learning journey.
My weekly conversations with Rachel helped me improve my CV, my covering letters and my LinkedIn page. She also helped me with all of my interviews and has been a hugely kind and influential person in me successfully obtaining a new job.

Career outcome
- Changed career from contact centre Team Leader to Project Management
Stuart says:
“I think if anyone is wanting to improve their skill set and gain a new qualification, or even wants a complete career change, I would strongly encourage them to book a consultation.…”
Marco Newell
Reason for enrolling
About a year ago I was a station manager for one of the largest railway stations in the UK, and it felt like I was lacking certain skills and couldn’t go any further up the career ladder with them. So we put together some planned career development to start a few projects, which meant looking around the station and finding problems that needed to be addressed.
So, I found a few issues and my manager said, we’ll start a project, see if you can get a business plan together and if we can get support and funding. But I’d not been involved in projects before, and no one ever showed me how to start, run, or complete one.
I enjoyed the challenge, and it was a good learning curve – and I did complete them all, but there were definitely a few things that I could have done to improve them.
So, I asked my company about getting me on to some training, but it didn’t seem to be happening, so despite it being the pandemic, I made a decision, cut the cord and resigned.
Career Services
My Career Consultant Alex was great. He got me through the door. So, I have to thank him for that. Then the Career Services consultant I was allocated to was Rachel Duggan. Which I was extremely happy about. She was passionate, creative, and really determined for me to be successful. She genuinely cared about me doing well. And it was at that point of working with Rachel that I realised I had chosen the right company to enrol with.
She went above and beyond, helping me with my CV, and my interview technique. She tested me, challenged me, and pushed me. She was my inspiration and I firmly believe that the job that I landed was a massive contributing factor due to her help.
She trained me, helped me, and nurtured me through interview techniques and tested me out and gave me ideas of what I should do and say and even how to sit. And I got the job after my second interview – and it’s a massive job.

Career outcome
- Changed career from Station Manager to Project Management
Marco says:
“I’d probably say a few things. The first thing is if you truly want to go for it, then don’t stop yourself and don’t ask or expect your family, friends, or employer to make the decision for you.
If you truly want something, you just need to go for it. And if something is holding you back, you’ve got to cut the cord. Simple as that. Nobody should stop you from moving forward and upwards.
In terms of the cost, it’s like work in investment. I think of it as investing in yourself. And I think the best investment is investing yourself…”
Alexandra Vrijheid
Reason for enrolling
I had been in sales for about four years and decided it wasn’t for me. So I was considering a career change and looking at which courses were available. I decided to make a career change into project management because I am passionate about organisation, people and their motivations.
I was looking for a job that would challenge me, be different every day and where I would feel like I am making a difference. I researched a lot and connected with project managers to see what qualifications they had and whether I needed any.
When I started looking at the specific certifications online and where I’d be able to do them, Learning People were at the top of my list.
Career Services
Absolutely. My Career Services consultant was Rachel. I’ve had great support from her and we’ve also had weekly chats about my cover letters for job applications. Her feedback has been great and she really helped get my CV to where it is today. I’m so happy with my final CV and I definitely appreciate her input as it has been paramount in my success.

Career outcome
- Changed career from sales to Project Management
Alexandra says:
“My mindset has definitely changed. I know more about project management and I’m very motivated to learn more and I see a lot of opportunities ahead. If you’re considering a career change it probably means you’re not happy in your existing position so there’s no harm in giving it a go. You can always go back to what you were doing before, but it’s so important to love what you do. So I would say 100% go for it.”
Pamela John 
Reason for enrolling
I had been doing architectural visualisation for 4 years for a property marketing company. Prior to that I had a degree in interior architecture and design so in terms of my passion it’s always been architecture and construction. But when I moved on from my previous role I knew that I wanted to go into project management but I didn’t have any knowledge or qualifications – and when I was looking for jobs they would always ask for formal qualifications. So I enrolled in August 2021.
Career Services
Robyn was very helpful when I was going through the anxiety of interviews and helping me research the industry properly and how to engage with interviewers – I also joined the Career Services workshops where we could ask lots of questions.
Certifications

Career outcome
- Changed career to become an Assistant Project Manager
Pamela says:
“I’d spoken to other companies but they didn’t explain everything as well as Learning People and everything was much more structured with Learning People too.
The investment has definitely been worth it. In terms of financial return, I’ve already gained more than I could have hoped for – and feeling happy in myself compared to my previous role where I wasn’t satisfied. I’m now in a role that I enjoy and I’m learning a lot all the time and it’s paving the way for a lot more growth in my career. For me personally I’m still trying to learn as much as I can so I can grown in the industry. But it all takes initiating and trying to push yourself and always asking questions.”

Dan Roberts
Reason for enrolling
I received an email from Learning People through TotalJobs during the 2020 lockdown. At that time, I was out of work since my contract had finished in December 2019. The job market was flat and part of my previous work had included working on projects. I knew that some official training would be beneficial.
StudentCare™
I contacted StudentCare when I came to a point when I wondered if I was taking too long on the training, but they assured me I was learning at the right pace for me and I was taking everything on. They were there when I needed them.
Career Services
Career Services were great. Robyn was brilliant. They could not have been more helpful and supportive. Robyn helped me with loads of interview questions and preparation.

Dan says:
“I was recommended the full collection of project management training, and a recruiter friend of mine actually advised me not to try and do PRINCE2 as they thought it would be too technical. But I thought I do need this and discussed it with my wife and wanted to enhance and validate my skills.
I’d not done any online learning before this and I’m dyslexic. The last time I was in education was at school. It had its challenges for me, but at the same time I found that using all the tools enabled me to retain what I needed. My brother in law is a lecturer in project management and has a PHD in project management and was impressed with what I’d learnt and how much I knew.
I’m absolutely loving my new job. It’s a multisite role and I’m working with a lot of different people. It has its challenges, but wouldn’t be interesting if it was easy. It’s a brand new role and I can make it my own. I can put things into practice that are good for the workplace and I wouldn’t have been able to do this without what I’ve learnt.”
Charlotte Crenn
Reason for enrolling
I decided on a career change last year into project management but had no idea where to start, so I looked around and read a lot. I saw there were a few certifications that were widely recognised in the industry and decided to look up different providers.
I was looking specifically for project management certifications. PRINCE2® were my first choice with the CAPM following as a bonus.
StudentCare™
The courses were very well presented and easy to understand, so I never needed any clarification from mentors or StudentCare™. I did have to contact StudentCare™ to book my exams at the end of the courses and their response was almost instant, they were very fast to answer.
Career Services
I have to say this was my absolute favourite part. I was having a pretty bad time in my former employment, to the point where I decided to leave and go back home before looking for work in my new field. Which was quite a terrifying thing to do.
This is when I first spoke with Robyn from the Career Services team. I told her what I wanted to do and asked if she thought it was achievable, or am I crazy? She said if you do everything I tell you and you work with me, your chances will definitely be increased.
I didn’t think I needed help making a CV, I’ve made plenty of them in my professional career. But it turned out Robyn had a lot to show me and teach me and held my hand all the time. It made a huge difference and gave me the confidence to move forward with my career plan. As you can tell I’m a big fan.

Charlotte says:
“The first call I had with Learning People felt like a lot more than someone just trying to sell me something. Right from the first call, Matt provided me with useful advice which gave me a good feeling. I often go with my instinct and it felt well supported with Learning People right from the beginning.
I really appreciated being given useful advice about the career and industry before signing up. It was great career advice with helpful recommendations that gave me a better view of what to expect and what the path beyond the certifications would look like. So a lot more about the career change and not just focused on the certifications and the training.
Sometimes the hardest step is the first. It costs literally nothing to pick up the phone and speak with a career consultant. The internet is a great resource, but can be very overwhelming, there’s so much choice. Speaking with a human being really helps put things into perspective, especially when it’s good advice.”
Marloes Wanrooij
Reason for enrolling
I had resigned from a job of 7 years because there was no room for growth there anymore for me. However, I did this just before the first wave of Covid put us into lockdown and I struggled to find a job for a good 8 months. I decided to use my time off to obtain some qualifications that could help me land my dream job when the job market started flourishing again.
Career Services
I had a few chats with a lovely member of the Career Services team, and she was so interested in helping me land a great job. I felt like I had a cheerleader! I was given some really useful tips on improving my CV, on using LinkedIn and whenever I had a job I was interested in or when I had a job interview, she was always around to help me if I needed anything.

Marloes says:
“The consultant I spoke to was very knowledgeable, very easy to talk to, and gave some good advice on suitable courses. I might have signed up for a few more courses than I had originally planned, but that just means he was very good at his job! When I later discovered that one of the courses I had signed up for didn’t suit me at all, Learning People were helpful in finding me another option, and I even ended up signing up for an additional course!
I had looked at various options and was tempted to go with the cheapest one. Don’t we all? But after speaking to Learning People and hearing about the certificates and registrations with official bodies, I understood it would be better for me to invest in these courses and get it right the first time.
Find out what courses you are thinking of doing, speak to a consultant and let them inform you. Then take some time to think about what courses to sign up to, and go for it. It is not time lost or money lost; it is valuable knowledge and credentials gained that can really help you stand out from other applicants, or that can help you progress in your current career.”
Agnes Chan
Reason for enrolling
Agnes enrolled with Learning People in August 2021. Originally from China, she had a degree in International Business and had been working within the hospitality sector. She had worked her way up to management positions within this sector. Agnes enjoyed working in management but was looking to move out of hospitality. She had always been interested in Project Management but was unsure how to use her experience and get into these sorts of roles. After speaking with Scott, one of our Senior Career Consultant, she got advice around which industry certifications would get her noticed and ensure she was marketable when looking for roles. Agnes decided she wanted to take this step and was looking forward to getting started.
Student CareTM
Agnes started with an orientation on the platform, she loved that this was broken down into a step-by-step guide and that she was shown how to access everything she would need to do her training. Agnes was impressed that she had access to support from Student Care whenever she needed help or had questions. She found the exam booking process nice and easy also. Online working worked well with her lifestyle, but was pleased to have personal support when needed.
Career Services
Agnes was excited about the support from Career Services, she was changing industry and was not sure how to present herself to employers in this sector. She also wanted guidance about the sorts of roles to look at as this was all new to her. Tabatha, in the Career Services team, guided Agnes through the whole process. They did a CV and LinkedIn consultation, and she was able to highlight her transferable skills from her management experience along with making sure her certifications stood out in the right way. They also looked at different Cover Letters and made sure they were tailored to the different roles she was applying for. Tabatha helped Agnes network with people in the industry and did interview preparation when she started to interview. She gave her consistent advice and guidance to ensure she was taking the right path to meet her goals.
Agnes is now thrilled to be working as a Project Officer at Nexon.

Agnes says:
“I compared a few Project Management certificates and service providers before I enrolled with Learning People. The Learning People team are very knowledgeable and was able to give me some industry trends and insights. The extra career consulting services was one of the most valuable parts and were integral for informing my decision to enroll.
I like the flexibility of the Learning People platform. It is very easy to access and I could control my learning. When I needed course materials for exams, they arranged to send them to me as soon as possible, even through the material global shortage period. The mentor support from the platform is very efficient and detailed. When I sent out questions on the page, my comments were replied to, the longest took only 48hrs with very detailed explanations. I was also able to review other people’s questions to get a deeper understanding of my own knowledge.
The Student Care team is always encouraging and made regular calls to check up on me throughout the whole study time. I received full support and friendly advice on how to plan my study step-by-step with encouragement and positivity.
Career Services was definitely the highlight of my journey with Learning People. My consultant Tabatha provided her excellent professional skills to help me go in the right direction I wanted while fully utilizing the license I’ve been studying. She has not only provided strategic career consultation but also guided me along the way. We covered resume editing, interview preparation all the way through to follow up post job reviews. This is definitely one of the strongest reasons I would recommend Learning People for anyone who would like to extend their study in professional licenses.
I have been able to successfully gain a project management position in IT since I got my license through studying with Learning People. I would choose them again for any future career development due to the resources and caring team members who have supported me along the way. I highly recommend Learning People to anyone who is seeking a brighter future for their career.”
Yogesh Paniraj Subbanarasimha
Reason for enrolling:

Student CareTM
The Student Care team called Yogesh within the first couple of days post enrolment and ran through a full training orientation and discussed the examination process and how Learning People will support him throughout his journey. The Student Care team arranged for regular check in calls with Yogesh so they could monitor his progress and see if he had any questions along the way or needed additional resources to guide him through.
Career Services
Yogesh’s Career Services Consultant Mikayla completed a full CV and LinkedIn review and concentrated on ensuring his previous projects were highlighted and made visible for future employers. Mikayla and Yogesh also discussed Networking on LinkedIn and how to approach the market successfully.
Career outcome

Yogesh says:
“The course material and learning are 100% online and it gives flexibility for the student to learn at their own pace and around lift/work commitments. Course material is structured well and suits both experienced professionals and non-experienced students. The online learning platform and the end-user experience is easier to use and navigation.
The Learning People Team is an absolute pleasure to deal with professional and courteous service. Students are treated with a lot of respect as they understand that most of them are full-time working professionals and parents with significant other responsibilities. I have no hesitation in recommending The Learning People as a service provider to my friends and family.”
Susana Chen
Reason for enrolling:
Susana first got in touch with Learning People in July 2021. She had been working in a Digital Content role and was moving into a new role within the company. She thought having knowledge of Project Management would help her in this transition. Susana also wanted to diversify her background and was thinking of what her future would look like long term. Eventually she wanted to be able to travel and work as a Project Manager in Europe. She initially spoke with one of our Senior Career Consultants, Robin. He gave her advice on the best certifications to take in order to help her in the short and long term. Susana was excited to get enrolled and start her journey with Learning People.
StudentCareTM
Susana had an orientation on the platform and felt comfortable getting started. As she was starting a new role, she was not going to have as much time initially. StudentCare™ helped her to make a plan to account for this and ensured she was still able to achieve her goals. Susana was pleased with the consistent support and loved that she could fit the training in around her life. The flexible training style suited her perfectly and she was pleased she had a full year to finish the training. Student Care were able to help her with a study plan so that she could allocated specific time to train around her busy work schedule.
Career Services
After Susana had enrolled, Tabatha, in our Career Services team introduced herself in Susana’s first week. As she had a contract role, she wanted to hold off making a start working with Career Services. They made a plan for when this support would be most beneficial for her. Tabatha continued to check in on Susana worked around her. When Susana was ready, they started working together and did a CV consult. She was not exactly sure what sort of role she wanted to go for and how to ensure her new certification would be marketed the best. Tabatha gave her options of things she could include to make sure she was representing her skills best. They also spoke about her LinkedIn profile as well as how to use the platform to network with potential employers. Susana ended up getting a couple of interviews. She then worked with Tabatha to ensure she was prepared for them and knew what to expect. Susana ended up getting two job offers and struggled with what role would be the best for her. They were in different areas and sectors. After speaking with Tabatha and getting advice on her options as well as getting help with how to negotiate salaries, she was able to make a decision and is now starting in a new and exciting role. Susana is going to be working as a Digital Content Producer for ANZ working on internal Projects and has ended up having a significant salary increase.

The APAC Student Care team and Career Services are FANTASTIC – so so friendly and helpful!!! They are experts in their field and each hold relevant industry experience, so they offered me invaluable advice at every step of the way. Shout out to Robin and Tabatha who followed up with me regularly to ensure my success!”
Tui Hicks
Reason for enrolling:
Tui has been a stay-at-home mother while her husband is overseas and working full time. Tui was very excited at the thought of being able to achieve a goal she thought she couldn’t achieve after having children and leaving full time work to look after her children. After having a great chat with her Senior Careers Consultant Josh, Tui was sure she wanted to gain international certifications to build her Project Management career and follow her dreams again.
StudentCareTM
Tui engaged with her Student Care representative Kelsea as soon as she enrolled. Kelsea took the time to get to understand Tui’s life situation so she can provide the appropriate support and check in on a weekly basis to ensure she is progressing and managing her time sufficiently. Tui is also using a study planner to keep her on track to ensure she finishes her studies within her licence period.
Career Services
Tui’s Career Services Consultant Mikayla checked in with her a handful of times at the beginning of her enrolment to see how she was tracking with her studies and the need for Career support. Within 3 weeks of Tui’s enrolment, her Career Services Consultant ran through 2 informative and in-depth CV consultations to ensure it was looking as good as possible for her future job applications and showed her career progression with the Project Management certifications. 1-week later Tui had been offered a fulltime position.
Career outcome
- Obtained a role as Customer Officer at Infrabuild
Tui says:
“Learning People has a great support system and the consistency in phone calls to follow up on my progress has been really encouraging. They provide a system wherein it is difficult for you to fail. They seem to care, which is uncommon these days. Course material is comprehensive and, in a language, easy to understand. The platform is easy to navigate and allows for ease of learning as anything too complex would easily deter me from keeping up my studies.
I would recommend Learning People to anyone who wants to succeed. They reduce the stress by letting you plan your study to suit your individual circumstance and with this flexibility I have been able to embark on a goal I set many years ago. I will continue with my studies so I can obtain a Project Manager position in the near future.”
Kenneth Choo

This was especially important as I had to juggle my time between family commitments, working full time running my own business and self-study. Fortunately, the support provided by the Student Care Consultants was always easily accessible and very helpful. What was also very helpful was advice and suggestions during my sessions with Learning Support’s Career Services.
The last two years have been quite a journey, especially with Covid affecting all facets of life. Fortunately, I’ve now earned the PMP, PRINCE2 Foundation, Practitioner and Agile Practitioner certifications and am now a Site Supervisor with Ventia NZ, working on the iconic City Rail Link (CRL) project here in Auckland. Many thanks to the team at Learning People in Christchurch, especially Arthur, Mikayla, and Julia.”

Eben had been working as a Foreman since being here but wanted to progress his career. He spoke with Darcia, one of our Senior Career Consultants, who helped him figure out what certifications would get him noticed and help him advance his career. He wasn’t sure what companies would be looking for. He had also never studied and had no formal qualifications so was nervous but excited to get started.
StudentCareTM
Eben loved the fact he was able to get support from the StudentCare team to help him get into the swing of online training. As he had never done it before, this was something he was looking forward to. StudentCare took him through his orientation and set up a plan to check in with him for the first few months.

When Eben secured an interview, Tabatha coached him through this process and ensured he knew what to expect going into the interview.

The online learning platform is easy to use, and there is no shortage of information. Whenever I did have questions, I had no problems with contacting a mentor for support. StudentCare was a great motivator too, and regular catchups from a consultant was a great way to keep my learning on track. I was also introduced to my Career Services Consultant, Tabatha, who was great! She guided me through all the steps I needed to land my dream job, and thanks to her, I did just that.”
Nick Christodoulou
Reason for enrolling:
Nick enrolled with Learning People in September 2021. After working mostly within the hospitality sector for the past 25 years and having extensive experience in Senior Management roles, he wants to gain a role within Operations Management in another sector. He was affected by the multiple lock downs and wanted a role that would allow him to have job security and the potential for growth salary wise. Nick spoke with Conor, one of our Senior Career Consultants, to get an idea of what options would be suitable for him. He recommended looking into Project Management certifications as they are transferable and marketable across a range of industries. Nick was excited to get started!
StudentCareTM
Nick got booked in for his Orientation with Hollie from StudentCare. He was pleased to have this time to cover off all of his questions before getting started. Nick progressed quickly and was pleased to get his certifications done across only a few months. He loved having the support from Student Care and how he was able to book exam vouchers quickly when needed.

Nick and Tabatha from our Career Services team started working together soon after he enrolled. As Nick was not exactly sure what he wanted his next step to be, they looked through different jobs online to get an idea of what he liked the sound of. They did a CV and LinkedIn consultation as well as discussed ways of networking across multiple industries in his area. We wanted to make sure Nick was exposed to the right people and uncover more of the job market than the typical application style. Tabatha also helped Nick with his Cover Letter for multiple roles. Once Nick started interviewing, she helped him with interview preparation and practicing Behavioural-Based interview questions. Nick has now successfully gained a role as a Regional Operations Manager.

Nick says:
“After deciding to look for a new career after the many lockdowns, I decided to call The Learning People to get some advice about what direction to go in. From my first phone call with Conor, I felt confident that I was using a very professional company.
I was very nervous when I first started, wondering if I remember how to study, 20 years after I completed my last studies. However, going through the course work and seeing how well and manageable the course workload was, and all the assistance that was available to me, I quickly felt more at ease. The weekly tutorials were a massive help, and I highly recommend that you attend them if you are studying PRINCE2.
With all the assistance and some late nights, I was able to complete the course in under 8 weeks, a lot quicker than I had anticipated. From the time when I completed the first course, the Career Services Consultant, Tabatha got involved and assisted me with my CV and getting my LinkedIn profile looking professional. It was daunting process looking for a new career, but she kept encouraging me and assuring me that it was the correct move for me.
All in all, I could not have been happier with how it went and am looking forward to getting on with my new career.”
