How does learning happen?
Our approach is very flexible. We respond to the needs of employers who we work with. A range of learning options is available to suit your needs.
The process starts with an interview to determine eligibility for recognition of prior learning. Experienced retail supervisors with at least 2 - 3 years experience in a Retail Environment, have Retail SKILLS which can be recognised towards a National Qualification.
For those units which need to be completed through a learning process there are several options. Most employers and learners choose our face to face training in the workplace.
