Buying & Merchandising is a self-paced web-based training program. All the student needs to run the program is access to a PC and a web browser. Upon payment, an account number and password are issued. The program takes 8-12 hours to study, depending on the student. We recommend that students study in 30-40 minute segments to maximise learning retention. Within the purchased period, students can re-visit the material as often as they wish. Other options apply for longer access periods and details can be provided on request.

The program includes a variety of interest generating features and mastery tests for each module. The student sees his or her own test scores immediately. As an option, we can supply company management with the students' test scores so that progress can be tracked.
