How the online training courses work

The content of the online courses has been structured so that it allows the learners to personalise their learning experience. The programme consists of an area for the user, the Personal Profile and two inter-linked websites: a Learning Centre and a Resource Centre.

Personal Profile

To begin, the programme generates a personal profile where the learners decide what they want to focus on during their training; and by completing a series of questions their preferred learning style is established.

Learning Centre

The training takes place in the Learning Centre and this is where most time will be spent.
The syllabus comprises four sections with each section containing different modules
There is no fixed order for the course material - it's up to the learners how they tackle the sections
The Learning Centre also acts as a tutor, guiding and advising on progress
The Learning Centre facilitates a variety of learning styles, encouraging learners to define what they want to learn and how.
The Learning Centre is used as an interactive resource, drilling down into the Resource Centre for greater depth of information where wanted and/or needed.

Resource Centre

The Resource Centre complements learning by giving an added layer of resource
It acts as a library with useful links and checklists and ensures the learners make the most of the Internet during the training

Example screenshots of the each of the Centres helps give an idea of what to expect. The screenshots are taken from the online Questionnaire Design course, but the format is the same for Market Research - An Introduction. The screenshots show the different sections such as 'have a go' at a task or 'tell me more' about a specific area.
