Graduate Testimonials

Cengage Education (formerly Thomson Education Direct) works hard to provide students with unsurpassed levels of education and service. Many of it's courses are nationally recognised and accredited which means they have been found to meet the stringent education quality standards set by government representatives.

The course Tutors are hand-picked as leaders in their field of expertise with many years of experience teaching and/or working in the industry.

The student services department are trained and on call to help students with any questions they may have and our student mentoring program is available to help keep our students motivated and focused on the course which could transform their life.

 

This is what some of their previous students had to say about the courses and their experience...

"I belong to an extremely gifted and artistic family, which has shown me passion and dedication go hand in hand like pencil and paper.

This course taught me the different aspects of illustration and gave me the edge and knowledge I needed to bring my dreams to reality, which are now limitless."

Adam Stratiotis, Freelance Cartooning and Illustration

"I started my Higher Diploma of Advanced Freelance Photography in February 2003 and completed it in November 2003.

I have started my own business as a photographer, mainly doing portraits and weddings. I also have a few other photographic ventures, such as the children's memory book and landscape pictures which I also include in my business.

This course has given me the knowledge, and most importantly the inspiration, to get out there and build my own photographic business and help provide everlasting memories to others by way of photographs."

Michelle Ritchie, Photography

"I have already achieved my goal with an article soon to be published by an Australian mountain biking magazine.

This Journalism course gave me the confidence I needed to go for it.

Instead of sitting and thinking to myself, 'wouldn't it be great if...', I can now make my ideas a reality."

Chris Little, Freelance Sports Writing & Photography

"My first ever writing pay cheque totalled $1,600!

The (Cengage Education Freelance Journalism) course provided me with much needed professional skills and confidence. It was the key that unlocked the door to the exciting, challenging, demanding and at times frustrating world of professional writing. I'm now doing a job I love."

Jennie Cooper, Freelance Journalism

"On receiving my first pack of tutorials I eagerly sifted through them and was so impressed with their content that I couldn't wait for my second and third packs to arrive.

"They had all the answers to my questions. The course covers how to write and more importantly, how to succeed in getting published. There is continual motivation to get writing and to get published, which is something that is fundamental, being a correspondence course."

Vanessa Cusamano, Freelance Journalism

"I had left a full-time job to have a baby and now that I was a 'stay at home mum,' I really wanted to find a way of turning my writing skills into profit. This was where the Advanced Freelance Journalism course became my new best friend.

The tutorials were easy to follow, and being able to work at my own pace, I could study in between caring for the baby. It was also great not having the pressure of worrying about due dates for assignments. And if things got too hectic with the baby, I could just take a break from study and come back to it later."

Amber Wilson, Advanced Freelance Journalism

These are a few of the testimonials that the distanceXchange - as the parent of JournalismClasses.com - have received from it's clients...

I received a 5 star service built around professional advice, quick and in a number of cases instant e-mail response, incredibly seamless contact across the US, Australia and Mauritius time-zones, a VIP bridge to the university faculty and administration yielding invaluable help with subject choices, unrelenting follow-up of my application, and speedy delivery on their undertakings beyond my expectations.

The latest Customer Service Training course I have designed makes use of my experience (with them) to illustrate the service elements that create real time customer delight.

Their service is amazingly efficient. They quickly make out where you want to go, they agree it with you. They take you straight there and they do it fast!

As a company Training Officer looking after employee development through distance learning studies I had the opportunity to seek their services

Their excellent quality and speed of service enabled us to immediately identify, evaluate and implement the exact development course sought for our staff within the company allocated time span.

(Joe Baguia - United Arab Emirates)

...provided me with lots of practical help and advice which I found very useful particularly as I found it quite a big commitment I was taking on board.

...always quick to respond to any of my emails and if they couldn't help they were quick to find the answer from someone else.

Their level of follow up was also very good, for example I would receive an email asking if the problem had been solved or did I require further assistance.

As studying aboard can be difficult at times knowing you can always email them is very helpful because you know you'll always get a quick reply and they will help however they can.

(Marko Humphrey - United Kingdom)

...completely surpassed my expectations. The representative assigned to me was knowledgeable about my course of study, responded almost immediately to all of my inquiries, and was friendly and professional at all times.

He gave in depth answers to my questions and took my individual needs into consideration. When problems arose he was quick to offer alternative solutions and made the application and registration process very easy!

(Melissa Toporek - USA)

...a very wise choice I made.

It helped me in ways more than I could possibly expect. University comparisons, subject selection process, enrolment assistance, guidance and motivation, helping me get in touch with faculty, university related problem resolution, career and study tips, advice on books purchases, etc were duely taken care of, which I couldn't have individually managed being in a different country.

The best part was that the speed of service which was instantaneous. It is a holistic distance learning education assistance provider.

Their passionate involvement in helping out can be felt throughout and they make sure that ultimately the student gets the best deal. Through their experience we can avoid the common problems and pitfalls we all would face, as students going through the complex process of distance learning education, wherein most of us are quite new to the whole concept of distance learning.

I found the value of complete range of services offered to be quite unmatched and therefore I am very happy to have chosen them for my educational needs.

(Dhananjay Dashora - India)

I can thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking to study by distance.

First, it was through this service that I found the program that I was looking for. Then, I had great help to deal with all of my questions and kept me in contact with those involved in my application process.

Give it a try!!!

(Kym Acuna-Rutherford - Mexico)

I would like to put on record, their superb efficiency in dealing with all matters (small or big) with seriousness, promptness and putting clients like me at ease.

The way, it which the clients are managed deserves a big credit and thank you ..cheers.

(Gobinathan Nair - Singapore)

As someone new to the idea (and complications) of distance learning, they have been an invaluable ally for me.

Beginning with my initial enrollment in a distance masters program, DE staff have provided excellent support and assistance. They have anticipated problems, quickly and professionally addressed any and all issues I have had and, most importantly, have been wonderfully kind and supportive.

By the nature of distance programs, I've never met any DE staff, but I feel as if I have truly personal relationships.

Honestly, it is only through DE's support and expertise that I decided to enroll in a distance program.

(Eric Mehler - USA)

Answers to queries, facilitating and pushing for responses, and generally acting as intermediary in an efficient and cordial manner within very short timeframes has been the hallmark...

As far as undersigned is concerned, the service provided has actually enabled me to start studies - i am not sure i would have been able to do it otherwise.

(Jean Tissot - Israel)

I believe that other companies should copy the customer service offered in order to improve their businesses.

The service exceeded my expectations, whether in answering questions, solving problems, gathering information for me or in thinking ahead and sending me reminders for due dates.

I am very happy with the support that I have received.

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me.

(Caroline Shackleton - Nigeria
