Distance learning courses with County Training
Self-isolation can be challenging, but many people are using the lockdown to improve their knowledge by learning valuable new career skills.
County Training, in association with Herefordshire & Ludlow College and North Shropshire College, have been working hard to enable as many people as possible to access their range of Distance Learning courses.
Whether you’re looking to explore a new subject like Health and Nutrition or up-skill your staff in areas like Customer Service, Business Administration and Social Care, County Training are providing a range of free courses, subject to eligibility.
