Falconbury Training Partnership Scheme Find out about Falconbury's tailored in-house training options Thorogood Banner

distance learning

Welcome to Falconbury Distance Learning

Falconbury, in association with international business publishers Thorogood Publishing Ltd, have created a series of practical, written, distance learning courses.

Ranging from six to 12 weekly modules, they bring management, professional and personal development self-learning straight to your workplace or home. Supported by access to a panel of expert advisers, and the authors of the courses, as well as the option of attending a public event at a substantially reduced rate, they offer a flexible, cost-effective method of personal and staff development without the need for days away from the office, travel expenses and hotel accommodation.

This new, creative and flexible training and development method fulfills the need for constant knowledge and skills growth in the modern business executive and support personnel. They are ideal for all sizes of organisation, from smaller companies to large multi-nationals with large numbers of staff and they are highly recommended for overseas organisations.

They can be used in conjunction with existing training programmes, used singularly or for whole departments and can be an aid and home-work tool for in-company training objectives; in short total flexibility at the right price.

The benefits in brief

  • Flexibility – at a pace and place of your own choosing
  • Well-designed programmes focussed on practical relevance
  • Manageable weekly installments and self-aid progress questions
  • No need for time away from the office
  • Reduced expenditure – no hotel or travel fees
  • Self-managed study – no marked tests or assignments for submission
  • Access to the professional advisers and authors of the courses
  • Discounted attendance at support workshop
