Distance learning for business
If you run a business or organisation, you know that success doesn't depend on your technology or premises, but on the skills and qualities of your people.

The benefits for employers
At Leeds Beckett, we have a great track record of working with business and professional bodies to ensure our courses deliver learning that has an impact from day one.
Employers of all sizes are discovering that distance learning is a flexible way to business success:
- Improved performance - staff learn new skills, which can be put to work immediately
- Business as usual - staff study in their own time, fitting their studies around their work, family and social commitments, so there's no disruption to day-to-day business
- Cost effectiveness - developing staff can be cheaper than hiring new employees and your commitment to staff development will help to mark you out as a great employer
- Popularity - many of the world’s top firms sponsor staff through higher education.
