Online Training Courses: What Are They?

0

Over recent years, online learning has grown rapidly. More adults are choosing to study online because it offers flexibility, convenience and a cost-effective route to gaining recognised qualifications. Whether you’re looking to upskill, change careers, or advance in your current role, online training provides a practical solution that fits around a busy lifestyle. Online training courses are qualifications or professional development programmes delivered through digital platforms.

What Are Online Training Courses?

Online training courses are structured programmes that allow you to gain recognised qualifications entirely through digital learning. Instead of attending physical classes, you complete your training on a virtual learning platform. These platforms include self-paced modules, interactive resources and assessments you can work through in your own time.

At Brooks and Kirk, our online training includes full tutor support. So even though you’re learning remotely, you’re never on your own. Our team of experienced tutors are available to guide you, answer your questions, and help you succeed from enrolment to certification.
