How distance learning could help you get your ideal job

We spend a lot of time at work, and our work life can have a massive impact on the rest of our lives. According to Action for Happiness, over 50% of people are unhappy at work.

The key to finding a more rewarding job might be to improve your skills with a relevant qualification.

Some of us might feel that education isn’t accessible – we might have a family, work commitments or simply a busy life. Distance learning takes these into account and provides an alternative for all the busy bees out there! 

Study at your own pace

With distance learning, there is no timetable. You can study at your own pace and maximise your employment opportunities, gaining a qualification without being tied by academic term dates and having to keep up with everyone else.

Combine studies with other commitments

Many of our students work alongside their studies, gaining a new qualification while maintaining a part-time job. You can study from home, during lunch break or anywhere else.

Less peer pressure

Many people feel embarrassed in front of their colleagues if they take longer to understand certain concepts than others do, so getting back into education can be a daunting prospect. Distance learning takes study out of the classroom and onto our online learning platform, removing that concern.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

If you're employed and seeking a promotion or pay rise, further study could show your employer how committed and driven you are. If you're job hunting, furthering your studies by distance learning shows potential employers that you are proactive and keen to better yourself.
