OUR CURRENT COURSE SCHEDULE
Click to view our current course schedule. The schedule shows courses which are currently available to book. If there is a course you are interested in but it is not shown please let us know.
At the Virtual Learning Academy we have qualified learning and development specialists. They also have a minimum of a degree level qualification in the topic they are designing a course for. This enables us to provide a professional service to our customers.
We can write courses from scratch and provide experienced professionals to deliver them. They can be provided in-house, online or a mixture of both. We now have considerable experience in bespoking courses specific to the needs of a particular organisation or industry. Below are just some examples of the many courses we can deliver.
Public Courses
Our public courses are delivered in our training centre in Invergordon. We run a regular schedule of events. If you would like to see a course run that is not listed please let us know.
In-House Delivery
All of our courses can be run in-house within your organisation. We can bespoke the course to your needs or even deliver one specific to the needs of your business. Call us for a quote.
VLA on Tour
If you would like to see courses delivered where you live and think there would be a demand please let us know. Often we can run with just 6 people. We can travel across the Highlands and Islands.

It’s designed to help you explore and understand issues around assertiveness. A practical assertiveness training course, which will leave the participants feeling more confident in their ability to handle others, and feeling better about themselves.
It’s not possible to turn a gentle soul into Anne Robinson – thank goodness! Instead we look at how to be less accommodating and set clearer boundaries for others.
The idea is to feel better about saying ‘no’ without having to change who you are.

Global Operations Director
As a follow on from our 2014 ‘Raising the bar’ initiative, we required a very specific supervisory leadership course tailored to our company requirements. Due to their expert knowledge and understanding, the Virtual learning academy were able to quickly interpret our requirements and produce a course within the agreed time frame, that in itself was ‘Raising the bar’.
