Working Remotely (Short Course)

What to expect:

This short course will help you understand how to manage a business with employees working at home. It covers important considerations for working at home to ensure that your business remains profitable whilst your staff are working at home.

Working remotely has been part of some people’s jobs for years, but it is also something which has evolved quickly in recent times. The recent covid-19 pandemic forced many businesses to insist on large swathes of their workforce spending a considerable amount of their working hours conducting work from home.

For some this transition was relatively straightforward, but for others it posed a significant challenge. Many workforces were not set up to cope with the difficulties of working remotely, employees may not have had suitable working environments at home, or they lacked the equipment needed.

How does it work?

Our 20 hour courses are self paced and will help you understand a topic in a short amount of time. You can work through the course when you like- test yourself with mini-tests along the way. There are extra case studies or research you can undertake if you would really like to get into the topic. Once you have completed the lessons and self assessment tasks, there is a final exam undertaken online. You can then download your personalized certificate.

Note: these short courses are self-guided online courses and are not to be confused with our tutor-supported online courses.
