The task was clear and engaging, and the provided resources were very helpful in understanding the NSW Government Brand Framework. It might be even better if future versions included short examples of good and poor branding in practice, or a quick checklist to compare against the Visual Identity System. This would make it easier to visualise correct application and strengthen learning.

I really like how the program provided practical, real-world task that simulated genuine workplace situations. The step-by-step guidance and background information made it easy to understand, while still allow me to use my own ideas. It was especially helpful for me in improving my skills in writing clear and professional internal communication.

I really appreciated how practical and realistic the tasks were. The simulation gave me hands-on insight into how marketing and communications work in a government setting. It was great to learn about branding compliance, audience-focused writing and campaign planning in a way that felt purposeful and relevant to real-world challenges.
