Learn a business qualification, one lesson a day
For anyone who wants an accredited qualification in business, retail or entrepreneurship - learned on your phone, with real workplace experience.
What it is
What RMK does for you
Our programme gives you the skills and experience to open more than one career path at the same time.
You study one of our accredited, QCTO-aligned qualifications online, in short daily lessons, and you practise at a real workplace while you learn.
How it is structured
Our approach
Daily lessons you read, watch and answer on your phone.
Activities that put each lesson to work.
Real work at a host employer, planned weekly and signed off by your workplace supervisor.
You always start at the beginning of the next intake, with your group, so you are never behind.
