Cursusduur

Omdat het zelfstudie betreft bepaal je de cursusduur zelf.

Prijs

€ 550 per cursus/per cursist (Ken je ook de andere leervormen van deze training? Bekijk ze via de Adviestool)

Leervorm

Deze eLearning Plus leervorm betreft zelfstudie waarbij je zelf kan bepalen Wat, Waar, Wanneer en Hoe snel je wil leren. Vooral geschikt voor mensen die in eigen tempo alleen dat deel willen leren wat ze nodig hebben op de momenten dat het past. Dit vraagt wel enige zelfdiscipline. Dit eLearning Plus pakket verschilt van het eLearning Basis pakket in de hoogwaardige video-instructie van de gehele lesstof. Deze video-instructie geeft de beleving van het klaslokaal, maar dan thuis. De duur van de video-instructie is langer dan de duur van een klassikale training. Je krijgt dus meer uitleg! Alle IT eLearning wordt gevolgd vanuit het digitale leerplein Athena. Hierin zit veel extra functionaliteit zoals virtual labomgeving, kennis assessment, oefenexamens, de eCoach, contact met een docent, forum met medecursisten, enz. Kortom; veel begeleiding om van je IT eLearning een succes te maken. Deze leervorm is een volwaardig alternatief voor klassikaal trainen. Gezien de kwaliteit geven wij een slagingsgarantie af. Niet geslaagd, geld terug!

De prijs is inclusief het studiemateriaal en exclusief examenvoucher(s). Omdat het zelfstudie betreft bepaal je de cursusduur zelf.
Deze training maakt ook onderdeel uit van onze Blauwe Draad opleidingscatalogus. Onbeperkt leren voor maar € 1950,- per jaar. Lees meer.
