Earn your next salary increase through distance learning

Most companies only award salary increases once a year during annual salary or performance reviews. Though such salary adjustments are always welcome, they rarely put you ahead of inflation and the rising cost of living. What you ideally want to get is an increase substantial enough to push you into that next income bracket. Increases like these, however, need to be earned.
Earn your next salary increase through distance learning

Distance learning can help you increase your value as an employee, and thus help you earn a significant salary increase. This can be done through adding new skills and qualifications to your CV, or by obtaining training that will make you eligible for a promotion. The purpose of distance learning is, after all, to allow you to get vocational and career-orientated training from home in your spare time.

Studying while working also increases your chances of getting a raise by proving to your employer that you are:

  1. Motivated
  2. Interested in self-improvement
  3. Hard working
  4. Committed towards furthering your professional career

To increase your worth as an employee, you can choose to take a course that will expand your current skill set. You might want to work towards a Diploma in Labour Relations if you work in Human Resources, for example. Another option is to study something that can prepare you for a promotion. A Business Management course might make you eligible for that managerial post that just opened up in your company.
