Real feedback from Australians who pivoted their careers using courses we recommend.
"I taught high school for 12 years and always assumed tech careers were for other people. The SkillsToPivot career quiz matched me with UX design — and the Google UX certificate showed me that everything I had been doing as a teacher was literally the core of UX research. Nine months after starting, I applied for a junior UX role at Canva and got the job. My salary went from $78,000 to $105,000."
"I was managing a Rebel Sport store in Doncaster and hit the ceiling. SkillsToPivot matched me with data analytics. I started the Google certificate, something clicked, added IBM Data Science, and ANZ hired me on the strength of my Kaggle portfolio. Salary jumped from $62,000 to $88,000 on day one."
"Eight years of ED night shifts had taken their toll. SkillsToPivot's compare tool helped me choose the Udemy digital marketing masterclass without agonising. Four months later I landed a coordinator role at a healthcare SaaS company who loved my nursing background. $82,000 and working from home 4 days a week."
"Six years resetting passwords and closing tickets. SkillsToPivot's Cloud Engineer path was clear: Cloud Practitioner, Solutions Architect, build labs in Free Tier. I followed it exactly. Seventeen months later I was a Cloud Support Engineer at Telstra Purple on $98,000."
"I had been coordinating projects for years without the title or the pay. SkillsToPivot helped me find the right 35-hour training at a fraction of local prices. Passed on my first attempt, new job at KPMG within 6 weeks — $30,000 salary increase. Total cost: about $900. The ROI is absurd."
"SkillsToPivot's cyber path recommendation was clear: start with Security+. The Udemy course is excellent value. Practice exams are harder than the real thing. Passed first attempt, three job offers within a month. Now at Defence Housing Australia on $105,000."
"A business analyst feeling left behind in AI meetings. The Andrew Ng course gave me vocabulary, frameworks and confidence to contribute meaningfully to AI project conversations. Deloitte promoted me into an AI strategy role 3 months after completing it. Six hours. Best six hours I have ever spent."
"NSW public sector PM is dominated by PMP-certified professionals. Coordinating for 7 years and kept getting passed over. Udemy PMP course for 35 hours, passed exam in 3 months, promoted at Transport for NSW. $28,000 pay increase. Thank you SkillsToPivot."
