I took World Business Academy + Business Internship I enjoyed the knowledge and insights from this course and internship. As a student interested in finance sometimes it is tough to find something related to this topic. However, in the internship, we did a lot of work related to finance and also learnt a lot of information about finance, economics, business on the course.

I was a part of the World Business Academy and the Business Internship, and they both offered me a really great comprehensive introduction to business and economics. I had Dr. Dericks as my instructor and he was nothing short of supportive and an amazing teacher throughout the courses. I would highly recommend the World Business Academy for anyone interested in pursuing a career in the business sector or even just wanting knowledge of the field!

This is the best online course I've ever taken. The teacher is very patient with us, and we can feel free to ask any questions. Dr. Derricks wanted us not only to learn what he taught, but to learn how to learn and love learning. I learned a lot in just one week and will definitely come back next time.

The World Coders Academy program was a fabulous program. We had a great instructor who was a real expert in computer science and how to teach it. The classes were inclusive and engaging, and what I found most exciting is that you don’t need to be an expert or an intermediate; even if you are a beginner, you can make it. During most classes, we covered a lot of content about computer science and programming. There was enough time to practice what we studied.

Absolutely brilliant! This was my first online course, and it checked every box for a first timer: mentor, content, environment, and comprehension. Dr Dericks made sure to assist each of us thoroughly and cover every topic extensively. It definitely set a tone for what I want to do. Highly recommended to every student wanting to purse business.
