Why work-based and e-learning?

In today's 24/7 business climate, companies have to explore new ways to increase capability and stay one step ahead of the competition.

Whatever the size of your business, research has shown repeatedly that training contributes to efficiency, productivity, staff retention, and overall business success.

But traditional training courses with set start and end dates often don't give businesses the flexibility they need. It can be difficult to find training that matches your particular business need, and it's hard to justify the cost and time needed to take time out of work to train.

The good news is, e and work-based learning uses new technology to provide faster, more flexible and cost effective training that can directly benefit your business - without taking you or your staff away from work to study.

When you're governed by cash flow and budgets, it's easy to be put off training due to perceived costs. But with eCourses available for less than £20, e-learning is a cost effective way to upskill and improve your business efficiency without reaching too deep into the pocket.

From short eCourses that can take less than an hour to complete, to NVQs and higher education qualifications such as degrees, work-based learning can help your company develop and grow, with minimum disruption to your daily operations.

eCourses, covering anything from health and safety to sales and marketing, can be accessed immediately over the internet, helping you prepare "just in time" for a particular business project. E-learning can be done in bite sized chunks and at a time, place and pace to suit you, your business and your employees' daily work priorities. Visit the eCourses catalogue to find a course that can quickly plug your business need.

With work-based learning, more structured qualifications such as NVQs or university accredited degrees and even masters, can give your workforce the best possible skills to make your business a success, without leaving the workplace. Visit the Qualifications page to find relevant work-based NVQs for your business.

With e or work-based learning available to meet almost every business need, it's a sure fire way to help you reach your business potential and win in an ever more competitive marketplace.
