Miami, Fl., November 12, 2007 – Education
for Advancement (www.efalearning.com)
an education and career services provider is introducing a full range of
flexible and affordable distance and online programs from accredited and
globally recognized universities from the UK
and USA into the Caribbean region. EFA also offers a range of
interest-free payment plans and Caribbean
scholarships to provide students with greater accessibility.
Students can now choose
from an extended range of academic and vocational qualifications to help
improve their individual marketability in the face of increased competition for
employment resulting from the Caribbean Single Market and Economy.
A key element of the CSME
is the free movement of labor, through measures
such as removing all obstacles to intra-regional movement of skills. As the Caribbean Congress
of Labor in its presentation a 2006 Symposium on the CSME in Barbados noted, “the ideal CARICOM
citizen is capable of seizing economic opportunities”. That ability comes from having
skills that are in demand across the market.
EFA has partnered with the University of Leicester
in the UK.
It is a top 20 UK
university, and a major provider of distance learning with over 7000 active students.
It is one of only 21 UK
universities to feature in the world’s top 200 universities, and is both a
popular and established brand throughout the Caribbean
with over 1000 active students currently working towards a qualification.

John
Evans, President of EFA, says the high quality of the programs and convenience
of study doesn’t translate into high fees. “Because we’re
focused on developing countries, we’re committed to making sure our product
range is affordable and attainable. There are a range of payment options, most
interest free, available with the universities. We’re also looking at setting
up arrangements with financial institutions in the Caribbean.
I think you’ll find our prices are well suited to the marketplace”.

services package which includes a job seeker survey, career exploration
assessments, a personalized interpretation report and a career coaching
