Best practice design

Like all our online courses, this course has been designed using the latest best practices in elearning.

Some competitors develop e-learning cheaply by simply filming a trainer in a classroom. We don’t think that’s a good way to help students learn, nor does it engage learners.

Our course is highly interactive, and exercises have been designed to aid a deeper level of understanding, leading to longer-lasting learning.

We are confident that our interactive elearning will help you gain an understanding of modelling business proceesses so that you can sit your BCS Modelling Business Processes exam with confidence.

Benefits of elearning

An online elearning course is ideal for busy people. By self-studying online rather than in a classroom there are some key benefits:

  • Saves you time – you don’t need to travel to a course venue. You don’t even need to go to an exam centre because you can take your Modelling Business Processes exam online too.
  • Saves you money – the price of our BCS Modelling Business Processes course is very competitive. It comes with an exam too, so there are no extra costs to you.
  • Flexible schedule – you can study where and when you want – you only require internet access.
