Studio-produced audio learning content
	A powerful set of audio CDs, created and structured by some of the UK’s leading specialists in their fields provide essential information, tips, methods and techniques for building real-world skills. The modular approach allows you to “dip in and out” of the materials and increase retention by learning just a little bit at a time. Careful production then ensures that you can pick-up from where you left off at any given time just by going back to the beginning of any track.
Supporting CD-ROM
	It’s well known that you can only develop skills in the real-world by taking what you’ve learned and applying it. The supporting CD-ROM which comes with each programme ensures that you always practice the right things. User-friendly on-screen materials allow you to revisit key information whenever it’s convenient to do so, ensuring that you build skills using information which is fresh, rather than based on information you only vaguely remember from a training course you attended months/years ago.
Just-in-time cue-cards
	It’s said that practice makes perfect but this is only so if you practice the right things. As a carry-everywhere information-resource, your personal cue-card fits neatly into a pocket to serve as a constant reminder of the methods and techniques you’ll have covered in the learning programme. Cue cards help you build reliable skills that achieve results in the real-world because they help you focus on doing the right things - just at the right moment.   Click here to order this programme   Click here for your FREE product information pack £295+vat
