How do Learn:Blended deliver their courses:
Our courses are blended between online learning on our worldclass learning platform as well as classroom sessions (we can also do webinars if needed). This format is called Blended Learning because you take the best of both worlds to blend the best learning solution for the learners. The online component consists of reading and videos. Retail companies also prefer this approach since this leads to lower learning cost, less disruption on their operational requirements. Students are less out of the workplace and love the flexibility on when or where to learn. This is especially beneficial for retailers with multiple branches.
