Why Us
What sets us apart?
Edu-tainment
Numerous research studies have found that laughter does help increase learning. One study identified that online classes are more rated by students more highly if they contain jokes and other humour, while a study claims that funny lectures are more effective lectures. Another study suggested that laughter can aid memory in adults.
This is why we subscribe to edutainment. I understand that your attention span is much less than you think, so I try to tell you stories and bring in humour where I can to hold your interest. Learning does not need to be boring and the professional manufacturing widget examples will not be seen.
Micro Learning
Microlearning is information delivered in small purposeful units. Broken down into small sections this means the learning can be better digested by the student.
We have broken down our videos into small chunks for each learning outcome 1.1, 1.2, etc. to help our students retain the information for their exam.
Not only this but we have created exercises and added YouTube videos for each outcome also. This will aid memory retention.
Expert Teaching
Our tutors are experts in Procurement & Supply, plus they are also assessors and assessment authors, meaning they write and mark questions.
This gives a 360 degree view of what is needed to pass your CIPS exams. Laura is also a neuroscience geek who understands how memory works to help you retain information and score highly in your exams!
