COURSES FOR INDIVIDUAL LEARNERS
We are a fully approved learning provider, specialising in training courses for people working in the early years,
education or active leisure sectors. Our courses cater for people at all ages and stages of their life. Our knowledgable
tutors have a wealth of experience in these vocational settings.
WE TAKE A BLENDED LEARNING APPROACH
We understand that when time is at a premium, people appreciate a blended learning approach for
their training and personal development.
Blended learning means that learners benefit from face-to-face time with tutors and fellow
learners, but also enjoy time away from the classroom, to work at their own pace, in their choice of
environment, and on any device.
WE USE CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
Our cutting-edge Learner Management System showcases educational content in a clear and
attractive way, that’s easy to navigate.
The user-friendly, functional interface adjusts seamlessly depending on the device being used
by the learner – whether it’s a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smart-phone – so studies can progress
smoothly and without interruption.

• Learning happens at learner’s own pace, which reduces stress
• Offers the opportunity to go back to specific areas and re-cap understanding
• Learning happens in bite-sized chunks which helps the learner retain information
• Content can be reviewed in different ways
