My child has recently been diagnosed with dyslexia and was having difficulty in school, finding a subject that he really enjoyed and wanting to learn. He has a passion for technology and wanted to learn more. We've been attending software academy since Apr 18 and he has excel in confidence and excited to learn plus the level of technology and technics he is exposed too are asset to his future. I strongly recommend this academy to all parents who find their child always on tablets and wanting to play computer games. Computers are the future give your child a great head start.

I did a short course for UE4 and I was impressed with how professional and friendly he was! the instructor was very friendly and helpful as well as extremely knowledgeable about the subject, provided me an answer for just any question that I threw at him, no hidden games, Through Software Academy practical teaching method, I am now able to progress in a subject that I thought I would never learn in less than a week! Highly recommended to anyone wishing to study a course they provide.
