  Earniversity is absolutely amazing! I have no other words, it helps build your confidence in speaking and sharing ideas with others, it also gives you a wider viewpoint of all the interesting things you can do in the world of work and everything is explained clearly and thoroughly. Definitely would recommend this to others as it has helped and supported me very much, thanks :)

  Earniversity has been a massive help! Being a young person in Essex can be very challenging but through Earniversity and their fast track challenge I have become super well rounded in the world of money and am now looking into freelancing, and have even applied for their wealth launchpad course

  If you have the opportunity to join the Fast Track EARNIVERSITY course, I would highly recommend doing it. I learned a lot about the possibility of earning money from different streams or jobs. Aaminah delivered my programme. Aaminah is a great teacher/presenter because she checks for understanding by asking questions and encourages everyone to interact. It’s a very safe environment to learn, no question or answer is incorrect, I found her voice and style very welcoming. Aaminah is also very relatable, she has been through education and now has a portfolio career. Take the opportunity as it is an inspiring course and it will help shape your ideas beyond college.
