Knowledge Horizon joins forces with New Horizon

Dr Ma'en Al Qatamin, President, Knowledge Horizon, says:

"We've been asked for some time to offer our on-line courses in Egypt - and for these two courses in particular. However, we weren't prepared to compromise on quality and held out to find the right training partner - one that was in tune with out philosophy of training and learning, shared our goals and aspirations for our students and was able to meet our rigorous standards for delivery. With New Horizon we know we have found that partner."

"There has been tremendous demand for our Effective Supervisor and Effective Manager Courses, not just in Oman but in our training centres across the region so the interest we received from Egpt was no surprise," adds Abeer Al Jasim, General Manager of Knowledge Horizon Training Centre, Oman.

The General manager continues, "Interest in e-Training has grown tremendously recently. Training officers appreciate the quality and range of the on-line courses and let's face it on-line courses are very cost-effective - something that's particularly attractive in the current global economic climate. By turning to e-Training, if training budgets have been cut back, the number of people undertaking training can be maintained, as can the quality of delivery."

It's not just training officers who like e-learning, trainees too find it attractive, with its flexibility being an area that is especially popular. "The Effective Supervisor and Manager courses can be adapted around your workload and family commitments - the demands of your daily life," adds the Knowledge Horizon General Manager.

Al Jasim goes on to point out that while the Effective Supervisor and Manager Courses enjoy all the benefits of e-Learning, they also have several advantages of their own, "Naturally, there's variety of delivery, for example the DVDs that form an integral part of the courses keep learning fresh and lively and aid retention but also the material we use has been designed in the region so it's culturally sensitive, which trainees really do appreciate. What's more, something that many people find particularly appealing is that there is the option of following the course in Arabic. That's great as it really does open up training and learning to so many more people - it maximises training opportunities and I think gives trainees an extra bit of confidence."

Candidates wishing to turn the knowledge and skills they gain from the Effective Manager and Supervisor Courses into certified professional assets can enter for qualifications from City and Guilds, the leading vocational awarding body, operating in 100 countries worldwide. Knowledge Horizon has been an accredited Centre for City and Guilds for over 7 years.
