Sikkim Manipal University’s Distance Education (SMU-DE) programme has been at the forefront of delivering quality education through over 700 learning centres across 310 towns in India. Qualified academic counsellors at the SMU-DE authorised learning centres clarify doubts and mentor over 2 lac students across the country, even in its remotest parts!

As a pioneering institution in the distance education space, SMU-DE constantly innovates on its delivery systems. With EduNxt, its award-winning technology-infused delivery system, SMU-DE has established a collaborative and interactive environment that benefits students and counsellors alike.

EduNxt is an important way of training SMU-DE students – the future building blocks of Indian corporate world – to become integrated into the modern workplace. It is also a very important tool for imparting consistent quality to an academic counsellor’s delivery.

EduNxt certified academic counsellors use EduNxt to:

• Orient students in EduNxt and its study benefits
• Train  other academic counsellors for their own certification

The training is divided into Levels I & II. At the end of the training session, both the certified Academic Counsellors and the trainee counsellors receive EduNxt certification.

On the 31^st March, 2010, Bangalore’s Sidvin School of Business, an authorised SMU-DE learning centre, conducted an EduNxt training-cum-orientation session for its students where Ms. Sunitha Reddy and Ms. Vanishree Raghavendra (both of whom are EduNxt level II certified faculty members themselves) trained 15 students.

This is a perfect example of training the trainer and passing along the substantial technological and research benefits of a heritage institution down to the students. SMU-DE has always been committed to quality education and keeps up its promise to both students and counsellors.

Apparently, his intellect and educational qualifications were called into question by some members of America’s academia, which you could describe as rather rude I think. However, his response was to challenge the brightest minds in the country to come up with a list of questions they thought would stump him.

When the challengers entered Ford’s office, Ford was sitting behind his desk with hundreds of buttons to his side.  When asked what the buttons were for, he answered, “I employ hundreds of the brightest minds from across the world. Whatever question you ask, I merely have to press a button and in minutes someone who knows the answer will walk through the door, and that gentleman is the true secret of my success.”

“I want my advisors to be smarter than me, my lawyers nastier, and my accountants to pinch more pennies than I ever would.  In short, I have always aspired to surround myself with people who allow me to play to my strengths.”

Prospecting in your business, what could Martec Europe do for you?

Chris in Romford, was looking to implement positive change throughout his business, so he called me!

After seeing our ideas for Sales Prospecting, we agreed to spend the month of September working with the sales team, on a focussed, habit changing, weekly basis.

The programme involved ‘one on one’ coaching, identifying his sales team’s skill levels, working at different paces to map each person correctly. We implemented a pro-active telephone process using great ‘word tracks’, positive language and got them to listen to the words their prospect actually used.

After just 4 weeks, over 200 calls were made, 37 appointments were created, 17 test drives were conducted, and 10 cars were sold, more than that, 4 service bookings also got sold. According to Chris they have NOW returned over £9,000 profit. They had to sift through some dirt to get to the gold but it was worth it!

What could we do for you?

According to the agreement, Infonetica Ltd. will provide the NIHR CRN CC with 1,200 training licenses for the next six months, which shall be used to support and train NHS staff working on CRN portfolio studies.

The training is entirely online based and includes multiple sections, which are organized within a core individual account per every trainee. The sections include useful documentation, glossary, and a bookmarking utility, in addition to ICH-GCP course information itself. In addition, there is an administration panel, which allows for management and exportable data analysis of multiple trainee accounts. The training has been designed to be used as either main or auxiliary means of providing ICH-GCP training and certification. The 30-question multiple choice exam may be taken at any point of the training and on multiple occasions until successful completion. Therefore, it allows individuals to work at their own pace and administrators to receive instant information about the progress of trainees.

The certificate, which is obtained only after successfully answering 80% of the exam questions, is available as a downloadable .pdf file. This makes it easy to store digitally or print out, depending on personal needs over time. Furthermore, once obtained and downloaded, the certificate may be edited and re-downloaded to reflect changes in the individual’s personal or work details.

Armed with their GCSE results, many young people will be reconsidering their options for the forthcoming year.  David Bassett, managing director of DCET Training, specialists in electrical installation apprenticeships based in Exeter, explains it’s still not too late to consider an apprenticeship.

With training providers and colleges offering over 180 different apprenticeships to choose from and with many employers currently reviewing their short term and long term recruitment plans it certainly isn’t too late to seek an employer offering an apprenticeship.

Taking up an apprenticeship is a way of combining both academic study and practical experience to achieve a nationally recognised qualification whilst earning a wage. Young people are able to train and learn at their own pace usually via day release from employment to attend a college or a specialist training provider such as us. The length of an apprenticeship varies according to the qualification, with an average 42 months for an electrotechnical advanced apprenticeship.

Apprentices earn a wage from their employer and the training fees are paid by The Learning & Skills Council. So, unlike attending University an apprenticeship can be a financial viable alternative to train for a career.

No doubt many are concerned that with the current economic climate getting a job in any industry, let alone the construction industry, will either be very difficult or risky. It’s definitely harder, but most employers appreciate that developing skills in employees is still really important to ensure that when the recovery comes they have the skill base to be able to fulfil new contracts. Apprenticeships are also attracting more financial support. Last March, Gordon Brown announced an extra £140m of funding and there is a growing wave of support for the government to introduce financial support to assist employers taking on apprentices. So, now isn’t the time to be put off seeking an apprenticeship it might just take a little perseverance to find an employer.

With GCSE results in hand it is a good opportunity to assess your best subjects and what really interests you. In the electrotechnical sector we look for GCSE Grades A to C in Maths, English and Science. We also look for good practical and problem solving skills, not forgetting a head for heights and being prepared to work in all weathers! But each industry has different requirements, so it’s likely you can find an apprenticeship that suits your best qualities and attributes.

Taking an apprenticeship is a big decision both for a young person and their parents.  It’s really important for the young person to be certain which vocational path they want to follow and why! At the beginning, all apprentices need encouragement, reassurance and advice on entering the world of employment. Our tutors and training officers have extensive industrial experience and training knowledge to provide support for students and instil confidence and a belief in the individual. At DCET Training we offer young people and their parents the opportunity to visit us to understand what the training entails and what the industry is all about.

Once a decision has been made it’s time to do your research to identify suitable local employers. I suggest you start by talking with the Connexions service and also approach employers on your own. First write to them with a copy of your CV and tell them why you want an apprenticeship and why you want to do it with them. Don’t be afraid to follow them up with a call to check that they’ve received it and introduce yourself. If a position is available you may be called for aptitude or selection tests and an interview.

Undertaking an apprenticeship is a team approach between, the employer, the training provider, the apprentice and their family.  Once finished, our young people leave with a nationally recognised qualification and many career opportunities to follow within the electrical contracting industry. Over the 42 months we witness learners fulfilling their full potential and developing into skilled and confident young adults.
