The VIM Way

The VIM Way

by | Jan 25, 2016 | Business & Management Courses

We provide a complete learning experience for students in the workforce. We call it “the VIM Way”.

As experienced facilitators of learning we believe:
– learning needs to be focused and well planned,
– quality learning has three components; the formal learning process, manager support and on the job experience,
– what gets measured gets done, and
– changes in skills, behaviour and knowledge require commitment from the trainer, student and their immediate manager.

We have enhanced existing learning models by incorporating a learner development plan process and the use of Kirkpatrick’s 4 levels of evaluation to measure the outcomes of the training. By doing this we increase the chances of delivering learning outcomes that add value to our clients by providing a complete learning experience.
“The VIM Way” adapts theory and practice from a variety of sources and contains the following ingredients:
1. Work with organizations and staff to establish real business needs and provide the best value adding learning solution.
2. Build a strong link between the student and their manager to transfer experience and knowledge and to ensure learning support ( Development plan).
3. Develop action learning projects to reinforce theory and concepts; utilize critical reflection; draw on experiences; and accentuate the importance of practical application and implementation.( Kolb learning model).
4. Measure the outcomes of the learning. (Kirkpatrick)

Learn what you want, when you want, at a great price.
Imagine being able to study when it suits you. Imagine pursuing your online study from the comfort of your own home or anywhere you chose, using the internet and 21st century technology.

The Victorian Institute of Management (VIM) provides students with access to quality online and print based distance learning products for Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses in Business. Inaddition a range of recognised short courses are also available online and self paced.
Online learning suits independent learners, who enjoy the autonomy of learning at their own pace. Some people either do not have the time to attend formal classes or do not like traditional classroom training and prefer to learn through an independent way.

Learning online has a lot of benefits:
– it’s flexible – you study when it suits you,
– it’s affordable,
– it saves you time and money because you don’t have to travel to and attend formal sessions,
-you chose how long you want to take to complete the course,
– it’s attractive to working people who want to gain a qualification without giving up work, and you still get support to complete your course.

Doing online study doesn’t mean going it alone. We have built in touch points to help you feel supported and maintain momentum, including Skype sessions, quality online products, email contact and a designated tutor.
