The thing I enjoyed most about online learning is the fact that it is self-paced. The course was clear and easy to follow.

I completed four courses on eLearning.co.za. They were all very interesting. I loved the videos and animations.

Doing this course made me more in demand in the workplace. Learning Outlook is essential.
