Flexibility and Blend

If your organisation has multiple levels of management and operations across several sites, you’ll require skills courses that offer choice and flexibility in content and delivery. Our flexible elearning courses allow staff to access learning at work, at home or on the move wherever they are in the world.

By adapting our training solutions to your corporate culture and circumstances, our skills courses help:

  • improve quality
  • increase productivity
  • lower costs
  • achieve better communication skills
  • improve employee retention
  • reduce management training time.

From in-house training to elearning courses… blend the approach

The flexibility of our blended or online skills training means that as well as tailoring courses to your organisational goals, we can customise course materials and delivery methods. Based on our long experience with a variety of clients, we can advise whether interactive media or practical face-to-face workshops would best suit your business needs.

All our tailored training and coaching solutions focus on real issues within your organisation, and fit delivery around your learning and development schedules.

There are several ways of collaborating with The Open University to devise skills training. You can:

  • Choose standard professional education courses from our accredited academic awards
  • Adapt and customise existing elearning courses, for example by refining content, creating new case studies, adding workshops
  • Base skills training and coaching on real issues within the organisation
  • Call on our vast library of resources and sector expertise to develop online skills training from scratch
  • Conform to existing corporate learning designs and coaching systems
  • Create an appropriate blend of delivery by specifying on-site, distance and/or elearning courses and solutions
  • Address a specific professional skills gap - everything from talent management to software development
  • Evaluate the impact of training and coaching on real work performance
  • Opt for anything from short online CPD (continuing professional development) for individual employees to tailored elearning courses for the entire organisation
