Working through the FGSA course has been a very rewarding experience for me. It has provided me with all the resources I need in taking the next steps towards building my dream career. I would truly recommend this course to all students for sure! You will have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
This course made me so much more confident in my skills and in the direction I want to go with my career, and gave me the nudge I needed to start applying to jobs. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone, particularly those who are nervous and reluctant to apply for jobs.
