Not got time for training? Professional Development at your desk!

E-Learning / Online Learning – Training at a time and place that suits you

ITTraining2E-learning, also known as electronic learning, or online learning refers to training courses that are web-based, or on a distance basis. In a nutshell – E-learning makes use of information and communications technology to provide innovative ways to learn. The real bonus is E-learning training courses give you the freedom and flexibility to learn when and where you want, and at your own pace. These days, as people are ever more busy, E-learning courses are offered at a variety of training institution, and include a wide range of subjects at any level, which is ideal if the subject you’re interested in isn’t available nearby. Additionally, e-learning courses are generally designed to guide you through information or to help you perform specific tasks – all from the comfort of your desk / sofa etc. There are various sorts of ways in which the information is transferred in e-learning courses, from information-based e-learning where content communicates information to the student, to performance-based content, where the lessons build off of a procedural skill in which the student is expected to increase proficiency.

Sounds good … and add to this Distance Learning Courses – Distance courses, similarly and complimentary are ideally suited to the needs of working adults, as students do not need to travel to attend any classes. As with online / e-learning courses students are able to study for specific courses or university degree entirely online, from home, work, on the move or wherever else is convenient, and at times to suit themselves. Distance courses also include periodic face-to-face interaction, and delegates are given the opportunity to attend classes when they need them or meet with their tutors during their online study period to assist with their learning.
