AIM’s Online Learning Reduces Training Miles

AIMQ Online makes some of AIM’s most popular training programs and qualifications available anywhere, anytime, allowing clients to save on training and development overheads.

Launched in January of this year, the concept is growing exponentially.

The content offered through AIMQ Online is hitting the mark with managers seeking a management skills shot or formal qualification.

AIMQ Online leverages eLearning expertise AIM has gained through award-winning subsidiary, TheCyberInstitute.

AIMQ Online offers single courses and qualifications in project management
and frontline management.

“Through AIMQ Online, the costs of training, including venue and facilitator, travel and accommodation costs are negated – this is relevant at a time where many businesses are tightening their belts,” AIM CEO Ms Carolyn Barker AM FAIM said.

For time poor managers, AIMQ Online courses eliminate the need to take whole days out of work time to train, allowing learning to occur in manageable chunks fitting around the work day.”

AIMQ Online also fulfills AIM’s commitment to provide access to quality learning initiatives for regional managers at all levels.

“Many AIMQ Online participants are rural Queensland managers located outside of regional centres who seek contemporary, engaging and relevant online learning opportunities to expand their management knowledge and ability,” Ms Barker said.

Delivery mode flexibility is another benefit that is being recognised, as businesses complement face to face learning with an eLearning element.

“Frontline Management as a subject area has been a runaway success, involving relevant content brought to life through rich media and engaging formats.”

Online content can be, and is, updated in real time to accommodate relevant examples or topical discussion points as they arise, always ensuring dynamic and vibrant courseware.”

AIMQ online participants also have access to coaches who are contactable via email and phone as required.

“There are many ways learning over distances can break through the isolation barrier. In an online format, users are able to ask questions and engage in discussion about assessment or content with each other or with a subject matter expert.”

AIMQ Online offers four highly sought after qualifications:

• Certificate IV in Project Management
  
• Diploma of Project Management
  
• Certificate IV in Frontline Management
  
• Diploma of Management

AIMQ Online also offers individual stand alone units. Additional units in Human Resources, Sales, Marketing and Customer Service have recently been added to the online suite.

The inclusion of more courses to AIMQ Online will allow clients to reduce training miles even further.
