A retail management program is an excellent way to prepare for a career within the retail industry. This type of program may teach about principles of management and leadership, as well as about industry-specific subjects, like sales and inventory.

A course is the study of a particular topic within a wider subject area and is the foundation of a qualification. A typical course includes lectures, assessments and tutorials.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
