Project Management and IT qualifications

A unique web site capability offering proven distance learning for Project Management and IT qualifications has been launched by Focus on Training, in response to growing demand for E-learning as a route to professional development.

Time and cost pressures can make distance learning from home an attractive option. Focus on Training, which boasts the UKs most comprehensive range of classroom Project Management and IT Service Management courses, has developed a matching capability for distance learning.

With packages from all the leading accredited providers on a single web site at www.focus-on-training.co.uk choosing an E-learning course will be much simpler and quicker.

Web site visitors can select from the best E-learning packages available, covering qualifications currently including PRINCE2®, ITIL®, APM and MSP™: the list of categories will be extended regularly. Focus on Training offers advice on choice of the most suitable course for each individual, and there is tutorial support for students whenever they need help with their studies.

The distance learning packs available span a range of training styles. Some are predominantly paper based; others use CDs or online web access with realistic exam simulations. For higher level qualifications E-learning can be combined with a classroom-style workshop to consolidate understanding of how methods are applied to real life scenarios.

Distance learning is also being adopted by organisations as an effective, flexible and economic means of staff development. In this case, the learning resources can be made available to multiple employees via web access, and student progress can be readily monitored.

Focus business development director Rex Gibson says, “In the past, ‘distance learning’ was often seen as second best. The new computer based solutions are far more interactive and effective. Our experience is that users are well motivated and examination pass rates can be higher with quality E-learning packages than with their classroom equivalents.”
