IIR Middle East has created a new series of practical, written, distance learning courses. Our current courses consist of ten weekly modules, bringing management, professional and personal development self-learning straight to your workplace or home. Supported by access to the authors of the courses they offer a flexible, cost-effective method of personal and staff development without the need for days away from the office, travel expenses and hotel accommodation.   This new, creative and flexible training and development method answers the need for constant knowledge and skills growth of the modern business executive and support personnel. It is ideal for all sizes of organisations, from smaller companies to large international multi-nationals with large departments and staff.   The courses can be used in conjunction with existing public training courses, used singularly or for whole departments and can be an aid and home-work tool for in-company training objectives - in short total flexibility at the right price.

Programmes we have organised thus far include:

• Human Resource Management in the GCC
• International Financial Reporting Standards
• Business Process Management
• Internal Audit 
• The Effective Executive Secretary
• Management Development: The People Side of Business

We are currently planning a range of new offerings for 2008.
