Flexible, on-demand content

The CQF is designed for delegates in full-time work and does not require any time away from the workplace. By dividing the course content over 24 weeks, delegates slowly build up their knowledge session by session.

Delegates are provided with a complete set of course notes for each class and these are annotated by the Course Instructor during the session. Some classes will comprise computer workshops and delegates receive data files 24hrs before the class.

Classroom Delivery

All the classes are delivered from our London Training Center at 6pm (London local time). Workshops are now delivered in our London and New York Training Center. Delegates can access the class via three methods: 

Classroom -23% of delegates in each program follow the majority of the course by attending the classes held at our London training center. The class holds up to 70 delegates.

Live Webcast - Delegates dial into the class from their home/office. 32% of our delegates work through most of the course by dialling in live via the internet.

Recorded Classes - Delegates can access each weekly class online in their own time. 45% of delegates take most of the course via this option.

All delegates have access to live and recorded classes.

Online Access
Delegates who choose to dial into the class can view both the instructor and the presentation simultaneously, as if they were in the class.

If delegates have a question they post this to the tutor chat box. The tutor will then repeat the question to the class, before proceeding to answer. The same approach is applied if a delegate in the London class poses a question.

Each weekly class is recorded while being delivered. The classes are then posted online. See a webcast from Programme Manager Claire Riseley, as she explains the learning portal. Every delegate is provided with their own online account allowing them to access to the following:

• Recorded class lectures
• Annotated class notes
• Data
• Sample code and spreadsheets
• Additional/non-examined classes

Distance Learning Award
