I think it covers everything a small-business person needs to know about running a successful business. I was surprised about the quality of the content. Good stuff.

The GetSmarter is an impressive system, well designed and easy to follow. I am currently studying a BA with another institution and I must confess, I prefer the GetSmarter portal by far. I have enjoyed working on the assignments, particularly receiving feedback as there are still a lot of things that one can learn from experienced people like Corine, the Course Convener.
Nana Kelly, Aspirations

I am a person who worked at a guest house for many years as a housekeeper, which is where I started having a passion for hospitality and I decided that this is the business that I want. When I heard about this course, I knew that this was my opportunity to know the business itself and I grabbed it. With all that I am learning I will be able to manage my business.
Nomsa Jethro, private

This is the best thing I have done in years. We get so caught up in the day-to-day rat race and I never thought that I would ever attempt ANY kind of studies at this stage of my life. I am so excited about this course and so proud of myself and cannot wait to finish and get my certificate to actually have proof that I did it! THANK YOU!!!!
Lorrain Botha, Regent Insurance

GetSmarter delivery model is outstanding; it's opening a new way of extending knowledge in your own time at home. The course material is exceptionally good, I think whoever has put it together must have an outstanding knowledge about every subject that was presented. The support was outstanding and help was always immediate.
Hannelore Harms, private

I have always loved distance learning and the GetSmarter program is so complete, sophisticated and professional. I will study with GetSmarter any time again in future. Very thorough and easy to understand and follow! I love the way the material has been structured. I am working in the hospitality industry with no formal training. The course has given me a tremendous amount of information and insight into this exciting industry. I feel that I can start my own business any time.
Mathilda Bekaardt, Stellenbosch University

I have enjoyed the GHM course tremendously and find all of the course notes very interesting. Normally studying is so boring, but the more I learn about GHM, the more exciting I find each module. With GetSmarter, all of the course notes are simple, straightforward and understandable. I am new to the hospitality industry and already have learned so much (much more than expected). I have never had any page errors while trying to download the modules from the course and as expected, the delivery time of the assignment results was accurate. I'm not one to praise assignments and exams, but have found each one of the GHM assignments logical to work through. The assignments have given me a pretty good idea of situations I would have to deal with when running a guest house and have helped me to understand just how to deal with these situations. Working full time, I can honestly say that I had no problem completing the assignments on time.
Megan Anderson, Accommodation Hunter

I am very fortunate that I can study a course via distance learning using the GetSmarter delivery model, because I can do it on my own time, when it is suitable for me and I can do it from my office where I have internet access. If it wasn't for GetSmarter internet courses, I could not have done this. Thank you very much! The support of your staff is excellent. No problem too big and they were very quick to answer our questions and they never show any irritation with us. The fact that Rob phoned me the same day to tell me he could convert my assignment, which I'd send on a new Word program, tells me you people really do care for your students and go the extra mile when we do very irritating things!
Elize Badenhorst, Department of Health

I think this new concept is great and at the age of 44 you will not think of studying further. I was totally put off by the previous course I completed at another learning institution. I had to be at classes at 19h00 every Tues. It was a small class but found the lecturer very unpleasant and very out of his trend, as we were dealt with like school kids. This I find exciting as I can read at my leisure and also the assignment are very practical. Candice is great and very polite and helpful and goes out of her way to make sure everything’s OK. I communicate with her by email and she responds quickly. Nice knowing you Candice.
