The B2W Group upskills employees through our scope of distance learning qualifications. We focus on key sectors such as digital and business. We focus on the needs of businesses and their employees, and adapt our offering to provide real benefits to learners. With this in mind, we are now expanding our range of courses and introducing the CMI Level 3 Coaching and Mentoring and CMI Level 3 Principles of Management and Leadership qualifications.
Distance Learning
Distance learning is a beneficial route for employees. With many learners having a busy work schedule, they can’t make the time for more traditional routes such as college or university. Distance learning allows learners to access their course in their own time and is flexible around their schedule. This route allows them to gain their qualification in as little as 3 months.

Each year over 30,000 people study a CMI qualification and over 85% of managers agreed their management and leadership qualification improved their performance.

Why gain a management qualification?
Management roles are becoming even more challenging, with constant change, new technologies and rising customer demand. The ability of a company’s management team could mean the difference between business success and failure.
Gaining the right mix of inspirational leadership and effective management skills and practices can lead to company growth, more sales and increased profit. Being able to successfully lead your team through motivation, determination and confidence can also increase productivity and keep employees loyal in the process.
Investing your time into this qualification could bring benefits such as:
- Better qualified managers leading to a better qualified workforce
- Qualified managers are more innovative as they introduce new strategies, higher quality products and improve the quality of existing products
It was found that excessive workload and management style were two of the top contributors to stress in the workplace. Stress can lead to time lost to employee absence, with the average spell of stress-related absence being 21 days.
58% of managers say they didn’t receive any management training
With so many managers not undergoing any training, they are limiting their capabilities and running the risk of demotivating their team and preventing progression.
These qualifications will provide the opportunity for those in a leadership role to grow and develop their knowledge in key areas such as communication, managing budgets and achieving results.
Eligibility
As our distance learning provision focuses on progression within the workplace, we do require learners to be employed to be eligible for the funding.
We will be delivering our first Coaching and Mentoring qualification in September, and our first Management and Leadership qualification in October. If you would like to know more, please contact us here.
