Free on-line learning for HR and training professionals

SkillSoft, the provider of e-learning for critical
business skills, is offering four free online courses to HR and training professionals via its UK web site.

The courses have been specially selected from SkillSoftís human resources, customer service, management and leadership curricula. They are designed to help HR and training professionals build on their essential business skills relating to coaching, emotional intelligence, recruitment and relationship management.

Each course contains two to three hours of content which can be reviewed in one session or completed in bite-size chunks at the userís convenience.
Users also have the opportunity to take self-assessment tests before and after completing the course, enabling them to monitor the skills and understanding gained during the training. Performance support tools and online job aids are also incorporated to maximise the learning experience.

Kevin Young, Managing Director of SkillSoft UK said;

ìHR and training professionals are often so worried about looking after other people within their organisations that they neglect their own personal development. We wanted to offer them an opportunity to try out e-learning for themselves by giving them access to free training that is really relevant to their jobs. At the same time they will gain first-hand experience of how easy and convenient e-learning is and appreciate the flexible and cost effective role it can play within a training and development strategy.î
