Fantastic introductory course for early-stage professionals and/or career switchers. Great for anyone looking to get a glimpse at a career. The modules were easy to follow and used case studies to make sure you got a chance to practice and apply the knowledge. It was well-structured.
I even want to go back to the course now and start learning again…I’d gladly recommend it.
I was all over the place…EntryLevel was one of the best decisions I made because it helps me focus.

The best part about learning at EntryLevel is the amazing and vibrant community that comes along with your training aid. I had the opportunity to train with like-minded people and we interacted and shared our progress.

It was very fulfilling. EntryLevel builds their learning structure around a community-like system similar to real life experiences. I made some really good friends who are fast becoming industry buddies for life.
