2 Programme description Fully updated for 2014 Why study by Distance Learning? Finding the time to attend courses of any kind can be very difficult and plans are often put aside indefinitely as we try to build the competencies needed to carry out our jobs in an ad-hoc and often inefficient way. Assessing training and choosing the right course to attend in order to maximise training effectiveness can be difficult often leading to wasted effort and a missed opportunity. The suite of comprehensive Distance Learning programmes offered by the Informa Telecoms Academy provides the opportunity to rapidly build your competencies over a range of different competency areas, ensuring you gain maximum value whether you are looking for a comprehensive overview, or one of the optional specialist modules. The flexible study options ensure you progress rapidly with a range of interactive resources and study support available to keep you engaged. And you can fit your studies around your current job role, deciding where and when you want to study, and if you travel, you can take the materials with you to continue studying, making good use of travelling time. If you change company, inform us of your change of address and the advantages of distance learning continue.
