Why Study by Distance Learning? Increasingly we all face more pressure in our business lives. Finding the time to attend courses of any kind can be very difficult and well meant plans are often put aside indefinitely. Distance Learning is the solution to your education needs. You can enjoy the full benefits of studying, whilst still in employment – using the freedom and flexibility of Distance Learning to your advantage. You can set the pace at which you learn. You can decide where and when you want to study. If you travel, you can take the materials with you to continue studying and make good use of travelling time. If you change companies, inform us of your change of address – and the advantages of distance learning continue. One of the most beneficial factors of distance learning is that as the course progresses, you can apply the knowledge, skills and expertise gained to your work immediately.
Key benefits > YOU decide where and when to study and then set your own pace > FLEXIBLE modular course structure allows you to study subjects most relevant to you and your business to create an individual programme > RELEVANT for technical and non-technical students > BENEFIT from the expertise and support of leading industry and training practitioners > LEARN the latest technology and business processes from a high level of course content and detail > APPLY the knowledge, skills and expertise gained to your work immediately > YOUR knowledge and expertise recognised through the award of these unique qualifications > SUPPORT provided through regular online tutorials, with tutors and subject matter experts

Finding the time to attend courses of any kind can be very difficult and well meant plans are often put aside indefinitely. Distance Learning is the solution to your education needs. You can enjoy the full benefits of studying, whilst still in employment – using the freedom and flexibility of Distance Learning to your advantage. You can set the pace at which you learn. You can decide where and when you want to study. If you travel, you can take the materials with you to continue studying and make good use of travelling time. If you change companies, inform us of your change of address – and the advantages of distance learning continue. One of the most beneficial factors of distance learning is that as the course progresses, you can apply the knowledge, skills and expertise gained to your work immediately.
Key benefits > YOU decide where and when to study and then set your own pace > FLEXIBLE modular course structure allows you to study subjects most relevant to you and your business to create an individual programme > RELEVANT for technical and non-technical students > BENEFIT from the expertise and support of leading industry and training practitioners > LEARN the latest technology and business processes from a high level of course content and detail > APPLY the knowledge, skills and expertise gained to your work immediately > YOUR knowledge and expertise recognised through the award of these unique qualifications > SUPPORT provided through regular online tutorials, with tutors and subject matter experts
