Distance Learning Course

 

 

The University of Wales are offering a free distance learning training course for the voluntary and not-for-profit sectors.

The Certificate in Interpersonal Skills for Volunteers (
http://www.volstudy.ac.uk) has helped hundreds of people over the years improve their interpersonal skills. You don't need to be a volunteer to take advantage of this course, everybody can benefit from improved interpersonal skills.

At the moment the course is available free of charge for UK and EU residents who do not hold (and are not currently studying for) a degree or higher qualification.

The course is part-time distance learning with no exams. They have monthly start dates and they claim that their tutor support is second to none. The course is fully accredited by the University of Wales and can lead to a BA Degree in Voluntary Sector Studies.

If you would like to know more then please either visit their website at
http://www.volstudy.ac.uk, phone them on 0157, or 0 424785, or email them at vss@volstudy.ac.uk
