Business Opportunities, Building a Business Around ALISON

ALISON - A Business Opportunity for You?

Since the launch of ALISON, we have seen a number of innovative programmes launched globally which take advantage of the ALISON system. As these programmes promote the spread of affordable learning, we are happy to relay details of them. If you are aware of any other programmes that might be of interest to us please let us know.

		(i) Developing/Marginalized Regional IT Training Centres All over the world local training organizations are charging nominal costs for access to their training centres to study on ALISON. The benefit to learners is that they receive personal one-to-one tutition should they require it, while training "for free" on ALISON. This is happening particularly where learners are new to using computers or where Internet access is locally restricted. With initial training provided in person, learners can gain greater confidence as they first engage with the world of online learning.

		(ii) IT Training Centres Training centres in the United Kingdom are using ALISON posters to encourage students to study on ALISON, so that when a course is complete, they go forward to their test centres to undergo exams for certification-based programmes such as ECDL. It is clear that the free availability of training courseware is increasing the numbers of learners going forward for certification.

		(iii) Internet Cafés Internet cafés around the world are encouraging students to study on ALISON as their primary revenue comes from timed Internet useage. If you run or own an Internet café, you can retrieve an ALISON poster in your local language at the ALISON Marketing Centre.

		(iv) Referral Partner Programme ALISON offers referral fee commissions for purchases of ALISON Manager, the premium service for managing learner groups on ALISON. ALISON Manager is free for use with ALISON ABC IT. To learn more about this programme, click here: Referral Partner Programme.
