Feedback from Past Learners
Ola Balogun
"I have taken a few courses and I must say this one is exemplary. Industry expert coaches tutored and helped me to be ready and pivot to a new digital role. I attended training sessions with practical and hands-on live change projects.
The modelling of the training conditioned the learning environment to industry standard. It totally exceeded my expectations.
I'd recommend the course to anyone who is considering moving to tech or trying to gain new tech skills."

"Enrolling with DCA has been beyond rewarding for me. Being someone who transitioned into tech from a totally unrelated field, I can now boast of the confidence, skills and expertise needed to excel in this field since enrolling for the Scrum Master and Agile Delivery Manager training at DCA. The courses delivery from the various coaches who are always available to provide learning support, hands-on training on various collaborative tools and learning resources made available to students to study at their own time, are a few benefits of enrolling on DCA. I would recommend DCA again and again. Many thanks to DCA!!!"
