What the students say...

"The tutors at DAS impressed me with their enthusiasm and desire to deliver quality education, to teach not just what is required by the NZQA curriculum but to also the skills required to succeed in the New Zealand I.T. industry. The main appealing factors of studying at DAS is the friendly, almost family like atmosphere and the very high standard of education provided."

 

"If I had known earlier about DAS I would've definitely made them my first option. What convinced me are the students - you cant help but be impressed by the knowledge they have picked up. You hear it when they describe faults, networks, hardware and software and of course see it when they're actually installing or setting programs or systems on their PCs. I have recently been doing a Diploma level 5 computing course at another institution before DAS but I have to say this hands-on and in depth method of learning is definitely more beneficial. The tutors by the way are terrific, they know their stuff and they're always encouraging and available."

 

"I studied at DAS before I went on to Auckland Uni. I found that it is easier to learn at DAS because there is a higher level tutor contact. I made a lot of good friends of different ages and ethnic groups in class. I found out about DAS through someone who had already completed a course. I encourage those who want a future in the IT industry to use DAS Training as a foundation for achieving that IT career."
