Boston City Campus and Business College Distance Learning

Part-time short courses are often the only alternative for working people that have serious time constraints and need to earn and learn simultaneously.“Whatever your circumstances or challenges, you can rest assured that there is a short course or learning programme that is best suited to your learning needs, lifestyle and budget,” says Damons. Ensure that the course you select has industry recognition or institutional accreditation. For example, Boston was rated first in South Africa and third globally amongst CompTia training providers, and they not only train but also certify the most individuals in South Africa.“Each short course is designed to develop a specific skill and meet a specific need,” Damons adds. “Choose a course that suits your time and budget.” There are also entry requirements and competency requirements that you have to meet.

While it may be relatively easy to enrol for entry-level short courses, there are highly specialised short courses that allow only those that already have a qualification in that particular field of study. National Qualification Framework (NQF) levels also apply to short courses.If you need career guidance, don’t hesitate to go the Boston City Campus & Business College closest to you to get career advice free of charge.

Boston offers over 100 dynamic career qualifications, including short courses, at over 40 branches nationwide. Free career advice forms part of Boston’s social investment. “You have to make sure that you choose a course that meets your individual training needs,” Damons recommends. “It is important that you know exactly what you are committing to and what value you are getting out.”Note that short courses vary in duration. If you decide to study IT / computer courses at Boston, it is you who determines the length of study because you choose which and how many modules you’d like to complete.

You can choose entry level modules such as Intro to PC, MS Word, spreadsheets, presentation graphics to more advanced modules in Dreamweaver, Pastel accounting and/or enrol for CompTIA certifications such as A+; Network+; Security+; and Server+. This type of flexibility and quality training has earned Boston the Best Computer College title in The Star Choice Awards for four years in a row and Coolest College award in the 2012 Sunday Times Generation Next Survey.“There are great short courses out there,” Damons concludes. “Investigate all the options available and choose wisely, and you will ultimately reap long-term benefits and good job prospects.” Contact Boston on 011 551-2000, e-mail info@boston.co.za, visit www.boston.co.za, orFacebook.
