Open University

Working in partnership with you, The Open University can deliver programmes and courses to groups of staff to develop the skills that will help achieve your corporate objectives. Blending high quality materials, personal tuition and work-based distance learning techniques, we embed development directly into workplace practice in a cost-effective manner.

Without the need to leave the workplace, our standard or customised courses can improve the functional performance and career horizons of most managerial staff, especially:

• Junior or aspiring managers
• Middle to senior managers who want to build capability
• Technical experts moving to management
• Employees seeking pathways to professional qualifications.

As well as offering an array of standard professional development modules, we tailor courses for organisations all over the world to develop key capabilities.

Our tailored modules

• blend high quality printed and electronic distance learning materials with face-to-face and/or online workshops and seminars
• enable the skills and techniques learnt to be immediately put into practice
• support reflective learning leading to ongoing improvements in performance
• can be evaluated for organisational benefit
• can be designed to suit particular circumstances and business issues
• cause minimal disruption to the work pattern
• carry the authority of Europe's largest business school which has triple accreditation from AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS.

Flexible online CPD courses

The OU also offers flexible online CPD courses especially for busy individuals who may need to extend or update their work skills, but can't commit to more long-term study. They are designed to develop new skills, knowledge and ideas that can be immediately applied in practice.
