Remote NVQs: Why Learn Online?

CST Training offers a wide range of NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications). The majority of these courses are remote NVQs. This means they can be completed entirely online with our intuitive online portfolio system.

Taking an NVQ remotely means you’re getting the full NVQ experience, without needing to take extra time off work. There are a whole host of other benefits to consider, though, which have become increasingly prevalent since the pandemic. 

The following blog will outline all of the benefits of learning remotely, and why CST Training is the best choice. 

Remote NVQs: Greater Flexibility

One of the main benefits of remote learning is far more flexibility. With a course taught in person, you’d need to commute to a specific location for a specific amount of time. But with a remote NVQ you can be progressing through your course whenever suits. 

The pace at which you learn is entirely your own. But, if you’re concerned about procrastinating, our expert team is here to help keep you on track. You can personalise your learning path without getting overwhelmed. 

Safety Guaranteed 

As much as we hate to admit it, it’s possible that the future may bring more serious strains of Covid. So, whether you’re immunocompromised or completely healthy, a remote NVQ will grant you peace of mind throughout the learning process. 

Saves on Costs

Whether you’re learning in person or working in person, it can get fairly pricey. There are a number of financial factors to consider when you can’t work remotely. Travel costs, parking costs, lunch, snacks… even smarter clothing for your lower half! The lists of expenses can be hard to avoid, and can really add up with every passing week. 

Learning or working remotely can save you substantial amounts of money. In many cases, that aforementioned list of expenses can shrink all the way down to zero.

Benefits to Mental Health

This goes for all remote work. Obviously for some jobs and courses there are certainly benefits to being in person. But being in an office or in classes all day can be pretty taxing on your mental health.

Remote learning tends to be less stressful across the board, not least because you can work to your own schedule. If you’re working in an environment you’re comfortable with, you’re likely to be far more relaxed- and productive. 

Work Anywhere 

Remote working or learning means you can work anywhere. As long as you have a solid internet connection and a sturdy computer, you should be all set. 

This is especially ideal for those who like to switch up their work environment. As we mentioned before, working in the same office every day can get quite taxing. Remote work allows you to work from home one day, in a coffee shop another day, and so on.
