Access Learning Content

Audio Learning: Screen-Free Skill-Building 

Access Learning Content (formerly Access Bookboon) delivers audio learning resources designed for busy professionals. Expert-led audio content fits seamlessly into commutes, travel, and daily routines, turning downtime into genuine capability building. Your teams get actionable insights from industry practitioners delivered without screens, in moments they have available, maintaining operational efficiency. 

Access Learning solutions are accredited, assured and backed by our learning partners.

What happens when there's no time to stop and read? 

The change management approach that would ease your team through the upcoming restructure. The stress management techniques that could help you navigate your current workload. The AI fundamentals everyone's discussing but nobody has time to study. All of these require learning, but screen time isn't always available, or necessary. 

Audio learning delivers comprehensive upskilling topics in a screen-free format. Structured content, absorbed whilst commuting, cooking dinner, or walking the dog, applied when the moment arrives. This is development designed for when desk time doesn't exist—but learning opportunities do. 

Introduce on-the-go audio learning 

Access Learning Content delivers learning in the audio format your workforce already consumes daily - think podcasts or audiobooks. Our audio resources make skill-building accessible: no screens required, fits around other tasks, and delivers practical value. This makes skill-building feel less like corporate training and more like genuine development. 

Expert-led content from industry practitioners focuses on same-day application - skills your teams can use straight away. Providing on the go learning opportunities that fit seamlessly into car journeys, morning preparations, or any moment when looking at a device isn't practical. 

As part of Access Learning Content, audio learning joins our broader library of short videos, eBooks, and live virtual classrooms, offering organisations multiple formats to engage their workforce in continuous skill-building. 

"Research shows that auditory learning can enhance retention rates significantly. When professionals engage with well-produced narrated content, they often achieve deeper comprehension than passive reading. Audio learning isn't just convenient - it's cognitively effective for building lasting workplace capabilities."

Laura Haselum, Learning Content Manager Access Learning Content

Why audio learning strengthens your workforce 

Audio learning integrates capability building seamlessly into your workforce's day. Time spent commuting becomes a development opportunity. Weekend errands become growth sessions. Lunch breaks become learning moments. All without disrupting productivity. 

Beyond traditional work skills, audio learning covers what your workforce wants to develop: AI fundamentals, wellbeing and stress management, financial literacy, leadership essentials, and practical tips they can use today. This results in skill application that employees genuinely value, and confident professionals who engage with learning because it delivers practical benefits they can use, both at work and in life.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Audio Learning

How do employees find time for audio learning?

The point is they already have the time, they just might not know it! During their commute, on lunch breaks, running errands, or managing everyday activities – audio learning is perfect for learning on the go. Mobile-optimised content means professional development happens in moments that already exist throughout their day. This is on-demand learning that works around life's priorities rather than competing with them. 

Can employees listen to multiple audio resources in one session?

Absolutely. When employees have dedicated time for deeper learning, such as a longer journey, weekend listening session, or extended commute, they can engage with several audio resources on a specific topic to build comprehensive understanding. The My Library feature makes it easy to create playlists or follow curated learning paths, whilst still maintaining the flexibility to stop after one resource if that's all the time available. 

What topics are covered in the audio library?

The audio library covers comprehensive business capabilities across management and leadership, communication, productivity, project management, artificial intelligence, Microsoft Office, diversity and inclusion, and sustainability—all taught by industry practitioners focused on immediate workplace application. 

How quickly can we deploy audio learning across our organisation?

Access Learning Content integrates seamlessly with your existing systems, requiring zero IT complexity or months-long implementations. Self-service setup means your workforce starts accessing audio resources within 48 hours of contract signature. Native integration with Access systems eliminates separate login friction whilst transparent per-employee pricing scales effortlessly as your organisation grows. 

How does audio learning work with other Access Learning Content formats?

Audio learning complements the full Access Learning Content library alongside videos, eBooks, and virtual classrooms. Different formats serve different moments: audio for screen-free development, video shorts for just-in-time nano learning between meetings, eBooks for in-depth exploration at your desk, and virtual classrooms for collaborative experiences. This multi-format approach means employees choose the right format for each situation, creating flexible blended learning that adapts to how your workforce operates. 

What is audio learning and how does it work?

Audio learning delivers expertly narrated content that employees can absorb without requiring screens or dedicated workspace. Access Learning Content's audio library covers leadership development, communication skills, productivity techniques, and business-critical capabilities, all delivered by verified industry practitioners who understand real workplace challenges. Employees simply select a topic, press play, and develop skills whilst managing other activities. 

Will audio learning work for employees who prefer reading or watching content?

When organisations provide quality content with clear benefits and immediate applicability, professionals engage with formats that suit each learning moment. The key is flexibility—Access Learning Content offers multiple formats including video shorts, eBooks, and live virtual classrooms, allowing your workforce to choose based on their situation and preferences. Audio serves moments when visual attention isn't available; other formats address different needs. 

How does audio learning enhance knowledge retention?

Research demonstrates that audio formats strengthen comprehension and memory recall. When employees engage with professionally narrated content, they process information differently than reading text, often leading to deeper understanding and longer-lasting retention of key concepts that translate directly into workplace performance. The auditory processing combined with the relaxed state of multitasking can create optimal conditions for knowledge absorption. 

How do audio resources complement our existing training programmes?

Audio learning works alongside structured eLearning by providing flexible development between formal training sessions. Audio resources offer continuous, self-directed learning that fits actual life patterns rather than requiring dedicated training time. They're particularly valuable for mobile workforces, field teams, and roles that don't involve consistent desk access.
