Do you want to improve your current skills or learn something new? A short course is a great way to do both. Short courses can consist of either introductory or advanced level material depending on the aim of the programme.
The length of a short course can vary, ranging any where from 2 days to 12 months. This allows learners to choose the programme that best fits their schedule and study needs. Despite all these benefits many people still don't know what they can achieve through a short course.
