through to use of our extensive Virtual Learning Environment. We are approved by
The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (UK), and by The Institute of

Management, as we are an accreditation partner. As well we can offer further
courses through the Chartered Institute of Securities and Investment, and

A particular speciality of ours is to provide only the training that is
necessary to achieve a requirement; we do this by accreditation of prior
learning and working closely with the appropriate professional institute to
create a cost-effective, bespoke but relevant course that meets professional
standards. Our aim is to work closely with employers to design training and
support to meet specific needs, within the culture of the organisation, whatever
size and sector.

ability to ensure learning is fully applied in the workplace, adding value to
both employers and learners.
