Why AMA Self-Study Programs Make Sense for Business...

The economy dips and rises. Workforces ebb and flow. Whether your company is in a rapid-growth phase or a restructuring mode, your employees are running a never-ending race to know more. Yet traditional single-site training programs have limitations. With more employees than ever working from home—and others at remote locations—how can you train your workforce productively and cost effectively?

Self-Study Programs developed by American Management Association provide businesses worldwide with true turnkey solutions to the challenges of employee training. Developed by industry leaders and backed by more than 75 years of management training experience, AMA’s Self-Study Programs enable trainees to learn at their own pace. Moreover, they allow employers to measure their employees’ progress. AMA’s Educational Services provides the necessary guidance and training support services for successful course completion. Educational Services representatives are available by telephone or e-mail every business day to respond to questions about course content, testing, grading and credits.

AMA Self-Study Programs encompass all areas of contemporary management including supervision, human resources, manufacturing, finance, sales, marketing and planning. Available in print, or audiocassette/workbook, AMA Self-Study Programs have been rigorously evaluated for quality, cost-effectiveness and customer satisfaction—and come with AMA’s unconditional 15-day guarantee.

Self-Study Programs from AMA provide real-world answers. They have been developed to ensure consistency, continuity and comprehensiveness of training, regardless of the subject matter. They allow you to invest in your employees—wherever they happen to work—and to achieve measurable results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I afford to outsource my training?
After examining AMA Self-Study Programs, you’ll agree that affordability is one of their biggest assets. Run your best numbers on creating and administering a training program internally. All things being equal, AMA Self-Study Programs will outperform your most optimistic projections by 50% or more!

I understand how AMA Self-Study Programs benefit a high-growth company, but how can they help me in a downsizing environment?
With restructuring, your remaining staff is of more critical importance than ever, yet there is less time, human resources and, perhaps inclination, to train them internally. AMA Self-Study Programs operate without these constraints while conveying to your employees the morale-boosting message that your company is committed to an investment in their career development.

How can I train employees at multiple locations?
AMA Self-Study Programs are designed to be taken entirely through correspondence. Everything your trainees need to complete their course is included—the testing, instructions, answer forms and return envelopes. The grading and credit are included in the cost of the courses you select, as is Educational Services student support.

How does Educational Services support my trainees?
The Educational Services Department is dedicated to your trainees’ success. Does a trainee have a question on Chapter 5? Or the test? Or the credit? He or she can contact Educational Services representatives every business day at 1-800-225-3215 or ed_svcs@amanet.org. We let your employees know that they’re not alone.
