WHAT STUDENTS HAVE SAID

Rating: 5/5

The program: Exceeded Expectations

The thing loved most about The Power EA: Learning new things, the coaching sessions at the end of the module where I was able to discuss the topic in more detail and learn even more and challenge or understand my way of thinking. I got to learn more around various topics. For me, I believe EA’s need to focus more on 1:1 coaching and I liked the structure of this programme.

Rating: 5/5

I signed up for the course not sure what to expect but found the level of detail, course content and pace of the tutorial’s really good… some of
the templates, descriptors and also observations were an amazing eye opener and will only help and elevate my experience as an EA.
