Quick to Learn More was established in 2002 to provide a unique level of training for front-line staff up to senior managers.

We pioneered a tri-module approach which facilitates both flexibility and targeted additional training without duplication.

We retired our original platform in 2018 while preparing for total relaunch.

Delayed by the coronavirus pandemic and unrelated factors, Quick was relaunched in Q1 2021.

 In the meantime, we  launched a series of "senior" courses for compliance officers, managers and directors.

 Quick To Learn More is, primarily, designed for the corporate market. To learn more, please visit corporate accounts .
