Sontay has been running highly successful training courses from its head office in Edenbridge, Kent for many years. Now, to make it easier for those who want to take part in training, the company has launched a new e-learning platform so people can enhance their knowledge and learn at an individual pace with no need for travel.
“We are delighted to introduce our new e-learning platform,” comments Anne Avis, marketing coordinator/ event manager at Sontay. “Over the years we have honed our training course content and feel now is the perfect time to deliver e-learning modules. It is not always easy for our customers to visit our office and it means taking time out of their valuable working day. With these new courses, people can learn when they want and wherever they are. The platform is extremely easy to use, and we can’t wait for our customers to try it out.”
There are three 45-minute courses available on the e-learning platform:
