All our textbooks for students – and there are over a thousand – are completely free and can easily be downloaded in PDF format. They are all written exclusively for Programing Read by professors from the world’s top universities.
We believe students should be able to go to university at a minimum cost and this is our contribution to that.
We finance our textbooks with a small number of high-quality, employer branding advertisements. In other words, students’ future employers are paying for their textbooks. With a 15% advertising limit per book we ensure that the ads do not interfere with the academic quality and experience of our books.
The second arm of our publishing house focuses on business e-books for soft skills and personal development, ranging from improving your communications skills over learning to work with MS Office to realising your leadership potential, and much more.
We aim to keep these hands-on guides under 50 pages. This way professionals can implement tomorrow what they’ve learned today, creating a more efficient and effective workplace.
You can buy any of our 1,200+ business e-books (600+ in English and 500+ across other languages) separately or get access to the entire collection through our Premium subscription.
For businesses we offer a range of exciting services to make the most out of our high-quality business e-books.
Firstly, we offer businesses the chance to give employees access to their own eLibrary with hundreds of bite-sized e-books offering learning opportunities at the point of need. The ease-of-use of our platform and the quality of our e-books are only a few of the reasons why we have one of the highest usage rates in the digital learning sector.
A recent study from Boston College, Harvard University and the University of Michigan found that soft skills training boosts productivity with 12%, staff retention during training programmes with 10% and delivers a 250% return on investment.*
So whether it’s to save costs, create a proactive digital learning culture or drive engagement for an existing LMS, more and more businesses are looking at practical e-books as the perfect addition to their learning mix. The fact it only takes a few minutes to integrate with your existing LMS, intranet or portal makes our eLibrary an L&D manager’s dream.
Secondly, businesses can use a part of our collection to drive lead generation on their external website, offering quality content in return for contact details. Creating a customer or talent pipeline has never been easier.
