GetReskilled is one of the best places to take courses and improve my skills. The absence of live classes allows me to easily balance my job with my studies. I completed two courses with GetReskilled: the first was a conversion course, followed by an eBiopharma chemistry course. After finishing the first course, I got a job at Boston Scientific. Geraldine and Sinead were incredibly kind and helpful throughout my journey. Their support was invaluable; without them, it would have been much harder for me to complete my courses. I highly recommend GetReskilled to anyone looking to change their career.

I really enjoyed the GetReskilled course, the content was practical, clearly delivered, and easy to follow alongside full-time work. It gave me a solid understanding of GMP and pharmaceutical manufacturing, and most importantly, it allowed me to progress in my career. Shortly after completing the course, I was able to secure a better role internally, and the qualification played a key part in that move. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to transition into pharma or upskill in the industry.

GetReskilled helped me successfully transition into biopharmaceuticals from a food technology background! I took the conversion course into quality roles in the pharmaceutical industry and it equipped me with practical, industry-relevant training which gave me a strong foundation to confidently apply for roles in this sector. The coursework is a well-balanced combination of videos, articles and assignments, offering the flexibility I needed while working a full time job. A big thank you to the team of GetReskilled for their consistent support throughout the entire process. I would definetly recommend the course to anyone who is looking to make a similar transition!

I attended an e-Biochem online course with GetReskilled, and it was an excellent experience. Their approach to online learning was incredibly effective and truly ahead of its time.

The program was extraordinary. It was easy to follow and comprehend as it was well-organized, yet also rather flexible. I found elements like quizzes to be quite useful as they supported my learning. The support from instructors was invaluable, which helped in the creation of motivational environment. Overall, it was a comprehensive and rewarding experience that expanded my knowledge, broadened my horizons and sharpened my skills. It’s been a rewarding journey that has prepared me well for the future.

I was initially sceptical and nervous about starting this program because my background is not in the pharmaceutical field. However, the program is very well presented, with both video content and reading materials. The course tutor, Sinead, is incredibly supportive and always available to help when needed.

I won't lie, it wasn’t easy for me to study—English is my second language, so I often had to translate words to better understand the content. It was challenging, but once I created a routine for myself, I became more organized, and that really helped.

In addition to pharmaceutical topics, we had an intensive Job Hunting module, which will be very useful for finding a job later on.

I highly recommend this course and the GetReskilleld program overall.
