Shropshire Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with a leading online training provider to give members the chance to study professional qualifications from the comfort of their own offices or homes.

It is partnering with e-Careers to offer upskilling and career development opportunities in a ‘virtual classroom’ – meaning people can take the studies at their own pace, and at a time which suits them best.

There are 11 different categories on offer: Accounting, Bookkeeping, Business Analysis, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, Digital Marketing, Health and Safety, Human Resources, IT and Networking, Mortgage Advice, and Project Management.

“All of these qualifications are accredited by independent, globally recognised awarding bodies and offer the ultimate flexibility,” said Shropshire Chamber’s training and development facilitator Alex Brown.

“With research telling us that recruitment is still proving to be a significant challenge for many Shropshire employers, there’s no better time to upskill your workforce.”

The e-Careers team have delivered training for some of the world’s largest companies, including the NHS, British Airways, Sky, HSBC, Vodafone, KPMG, Ford, American Express, and the BBC.

Alex said: “e-Careers is the perfect partner for us, having helped career starters for over 12 years to gain qualifications for their first jobs, trained working professionals to change careers, and improved businesses through employee upskilling.

“All courses are delivered via self-paced eLearning or a Virtual Classroom setting, saving you time and travel expenses.”

The cost of the various modules varies. Interest-free payment plans are available for most courses, along with flexible payment options.
