Audio Learning form SGCL

Over the past few months we have been interviewing past speakers and recording our conferences. Shortly we will be able to offer these recordings for sale on CD which can be played through most types of mp3 player.

Our audio recordings are deisgned for delegates who have already attended our events but have missed some information due to the high volumes of information given out by speakers on the day.

Or for those who are unable to attend our events due to time or resource constraints.

Our audio sessions represent great value for money and flexibility, for example, a single subject can be purchased for as little as £14.99 + VAT. Audio recordings can be listened to repeatedly and can be digested en-route to work, at work in training sessions or in your spare time. Most recordings come with either presentation slides or written papers to give fuller explainations.

Listening and understanding the subject area may even count towards CPD points from professional membership bodies.
