Returning to normal.

According to the global 2017 Randstad Employer Brand Research report, after an attractive salary and long-term job security (58% and 46% respectively), 45% of surveyed employees note good work-life balance as an important attribute in gauging the attractiveness of an organisation. Indeed, according to Universum, work-life balance continues to be an important objective for a majority of students looking to gain employment. That’s why, when the world begins to return to normal – whatever normal is – we must all reassess our own work-life balance.

Working life.

In that brave new world, many of us will continue to work from home, or in shift patterns that help social distancing. But if we are to work from home, one more fundamental question might be, why not simply work for ourselves from home?

In other words, make work-life balance the central component in your life at work and away from work.

It’s a choice that more and more of us have been making in recent years, with freelance workers making up a greater and greater part of the UK’s workforce. But that dream of self-employed freedom comes at a price. You have to be good at what you do. And that’s where we come in because our creative courses are designed to make you the very best that could be. We don’t offer off-the-peg courses. We do offer one-to-one courses that are no different to those from a brick-and-mortar college. Except that you can fit a course with us around your other commitments

At the end of it, you’ll have an internationally-recognised qualification and the newfound confidence and skills to be the very best creative there is!

That confidence and those skills will be fundamental to working in the new normal. They will, and already are, fundamental to work-life balance – and good mental health.
