Programme description
Why study by Distance Learning?
Finding the time to attend courses of any kind can be very difficult and plans are often put aside indefinitely as we try to build the competencies needed to carry out our jobs in an ad-hoc and often inefficient way. Assessing training and choosing the right course to attend in order to maximise training effectiveness can be difficult – often leading to wasted effort and a missed opportunity.
The suite of comprehensive Distance Learning programmes offered by the Informa Telecoms Academy provides the opportunity to rapidly build your competencies over a range of different competency areas, ensuring you gain maximum value – whether you are looking for a comprehensive overview, or one of the optional specialist modules.
The flexible study options ensure you progress rapidly – with a range of interactive resources and study support available to keep you engaged. And you can fit your studies around your current job role, deciding where and when you want to study, and if you travel, you can take the materials with you to continue studying, making good use of travelling time. If you change company, inform us of your change of address – and the advantages of distance learning continue.

Each module is nominally between 150-220 pages, and requires 20 hours of study per module, with each module lasting one month. Modules are made available both in hard copy and online.
Assessment and examinations
Award of the Diploma will be on successful completion of a multiple choice final examination. The final examination will be set for one month after nominal completion of the final module. This examination will be conducted through a web interface and will require validation from your (training) manager or responsible person. Full details can be supplied on request. You will also be asked to complete self assessment questions throughout the course in order to monitor your progress and prepare you for the exam.
