Higher Education

Laying the Foundations for Future Success

The present pace of change in Higher Education is rapid. Change is not necessarily undesirable - and often produces better organised and more efficient systems of delivery within teaching, learning, and research. The problems arise when the pressure for change competes with external and internal and demands, time and resourcing, and quality issues.

Learning Solutions is committed to the provision of realistic performance improving training days and events which allows for effective staff and team development whilst cutting down on internal resource and support time.

Over the next year we will be developing a series of focused training days dealing with:

  • Management for Quality Assurance

  • The Development and Implementation of Benchmarking

  • Knowledge Management

  • Intellectual Capital

  • Learning Organisation

  • Developing Management

  • Educational Training

  • Open and Distance Learning

  • E-Learning

  • Staff Development

Below are two of the regional training days we presently run:

Acquiring and Updating Skills and Knowledge
