Celebrating Learning At Work Week

Learning At Work Week is an annual event to spotlight the importance and benefits of continued learning and development. It’s the perfect opportunity to explore and complete courses on Smartbox Academy and as part of the celebration, we’ve launched five new, entirely free courses. Also, for this week only, our next instructor-led Simple AAC live workshop is 50% off with code LearnAtWork.

At Smartbox, we aim to support your learning beyond Learning At Work Week which is why we created Smartbox Academy. As the home of training for AAC, AT and our products, you can complete self-paced courses in your own time and take part in expert-led live sessions.
