Partnership LearningGuide Solutions and National Extension College
Press Release LearningGuide Solutions │Milton Keynes │5 June 2009
Following the recent partnership between LearningGuide Solutions and the National Extension College (NEC) based in Cambridge, LearningGuide Solutions is adding six new NEC soft skills titles to its content services library. At the same time this enables the National Extension College to add individualized just-in-time training packages to its portfolio and make them available for use by students. All titles are being created with the LearningGuide Manager authoring tool.
The six soft skills courses are designed to provide busy managers and staff with professional ongoing skills development at any moment of need and will be launched from July this year. The courses are suitable for inclusion in Continuing Professional Development programmes, and for staff needing refresher or retraining inputs. The modular nature of the courses and the desktop delivery methodology make them ideal for both extensive study and immediate reference. Titles include Stress, Management, Time Management, Project Management, Assertiveness at Work, Report Writing and Working with Others.
