Learning in the workplace - with Anglia Ruskin

The most forward-thinking companies in any business sector place a high premium on staff development, realising that untapped potential can be counter-productive to their success. Learning in the workplace is the best way to enhance the skills and knowledge of your employees.

At Anglia Ruskin University, one of the largest Universities in the East of England, we offer a wide range of relevant staff learning and development courses, each tailored specifically to people studying within the working environment. We are highly respected within the education sector, and our top priority is the development of each of our students.

Benefits of workplace learning

Workforce learning has many advantages, for the student as well as for the employer. These include:

  • Reducing the amount of time spent away from the workplace.
  • Minimising interruption within your company or organisation.
  • Allowing staff to apply their learning directly to their roles.
  • Structuring course content around work activities.
  • Reinforcing and supporting the development of practical work-based skills.
  • Accreditation of prior experiential learning

We offer a choice of work-based programmes, from short courses to degree programmes, across a range of business sectors including, Healthcare, Education, the Built Environment, Retail and Banking, all aimed at achieving a specific overall goal. Courses can be delivered online, on campus or in your workplace.

The fact that we recognise the value of prior experience and knowhow, and accredit experiential learning, means that employees gain formal recognition for the level at which they are working. This allows them to work towards internationally recognised university qualifications.

Workplace learning provided by a university with an excellent reputation

Anglia Ruskin University enjoys an impressive reputation in academic circles, and we are home to more than 28,000 students. We started life in 1858 as the Cambridge School of Art, and now have campus buildings in both Cambridge and Chelmsford, having gained university status in 1992.

With the advent of new communications and technology systems, there’s never been a better time to undertake work-based learning, wherever you are in the world. Our extensive range of virtual learning environment and distance learning programmes have opened up higher education to employees of companies and public organisations, not only in the UK but also throughout Europe and further afield.

With the expert guidance and tailored courses available from Anglia Ruskin University, embracing the true potential of the individual, and your team as a whole, is now an affordable and realistic option for your business. Our work-based learning programmes are designed to deliver real performance improvements in the workplace.
