Education & Learning Top 10 by Mail Online
Study Academy has gone from strength to strength over the last 12 months. We welcomed new members to the team, increased our sales force and welcomed over 40 new corporate clients ranging from SME’s through to FTSE100 corporations. The journey has been both fun and exciting. As we continue through what has been a strange year for all, we are pleased to see more and more organisations turning to online learning for their staff. The hard work of our Founders and our amazing team has resulted in Study Academy being recognised by the Mail Online as one of the top 10 education & learning companies in the UK.
What sets us apart?
As many training providers know, it is difficult to differentiate in such a saturated market. Here at Study Academy, we tackled this head-on from the beginning. Having access to some amazing clients we decided to do some digging. We asked them what gets on their nerves about training providers and what the perfect training provider looks like to them. The key things that came up were:
Come Out of the Pandemic Stronger Than Ever
When the pandemic is over and businesses are open again, it’s still going to be a struggle. But the stronger you are now, the better you’ll be after!
Think of upskilling with online sources like training for a marathon. Putting in the work right now may seem pointless, but once the big day comes, you’ll be able to endure that long, challenging race. In the same way, if your business is going to not only survive but thrive after the pandemic, you need to put in the time and work right now. Each of your employees should be stronger than ever to make your organisation the strongest it’s ever been!
Why Online Training is the Smart Choice for Upskilling
Online training shouldn’t just be your last resort option. It’s actually a very effective way to learn a new skillset, even when the world isn’t in the middle of a pandemic.
Your employees will be more engaged with online learning and retain information more effectively. Everyone is able to get a more customisable learning experience. They can go at the pace that fits them best and go through their courses in an environment that’s most conducive to their learning style. They can take breaks when needed or re-study sections they are having difficulty with. They’ll have unlimited access to the training materials.
Online courses also don’t come with the high price tag of in-person training, making them a more cost-effective option for your organisation. You’ll reduce expenses while being able to hold on to more of your hard-earned money or at least redirect revenue to other things. The bottom line is it’s a win for your business financially. No matter what’s going on in the world, online training is good for your business account!
Examples of Skills Your Employees Can Learn Online
There is no shortage of online courses that help your employees learn valuable professional skills. No matter what industry you’re in, you can find a relevant online course that enhances the value of your employees. These are just a few of the common types of online courses you might consider having your employees take.
Technology Training
In a world with ever-evolving technology, the worst thing you can do is fall behind. Online courses about technology are one great way to be intentional about learning the latest tech. Whether you want your employees to learn how to use a specific software or how to harness the power of tech in other ways, online skills training can help.
Health and Safety Guidelines
The health and safety of your employees and customers are worth investing in. If you work in the food industry or another industry that’s heavily regulated for safety, it’s important for your employees to always be brushing up on the guidelines. They should not just know the latest information but actually be able to remember it. There’s no better way to do this than through online courses. This also relates to compliance and regulatory training, we all know that it needs completing every year, now would be a perfect time to get it ticked off.
Marketing Courses
Marketing is essential no matter what type of industry you’re in. If you’re a small organisation, you may not have a dedicated marketing department. Learning skills like Instagram and digital marketing will help your business gain revenue during and after the pandemic. And when you can turn internally for these skills, you won’t have to pay to outsource!
