Read the document, watch the video, click the answers (until right), click the "I have read, understood and will comply" box - the only thing missing is the "I am not a robot" choose the squares with traffic lights test.

On-line platforms tick corporate boxes for appearing to deliver education/training but fail the basic test of interaction in satisfying the individuals learning needs especially when questions arise with the content.

They tend to make assumptions about language education and computer literacy (often viewed from the level of the system writer / purchaser and rarely taking differing levels across the workforce in to consideration).

If you have a requirement for significant face to face training even if only for the initial roll-out hiring trainer(s) may be more effective and worthwhile.

Joanne - I am with Roundtuit on this.

Online training has its place but will only give you confidence that the trainees have taken in very little.

So then it comes down to whether you want evidence that lots of people have attended some training that might have communicated nothing at all (or next to nothing) or some face to face training that involves interaction and the trainer can get an idea of how effective the training is likely to have ACTUALLY been.

There are only a few training events that I have attended that stick in the memory.

ALL have been face to face in small groups.

So, perhaps 30 in the class when I did 12 hours touch typing training.

About the same for a 1 day time management course.

16 for two days on presentation skills with a one to one two hour follow up.

8 for 2.5 days on scaffold appreciation.

6 for the rest of that week on cranes appreciation - you are NEVER going to appreciate how skillful an RB22 crane operator is without trying it yourself! I thought that my out of control load was going to hit the shed where the previous course had been run until I saw the two instructors collapsing into laughter (trick of my eyesight - they were never going to site the crane such that there was risk to the shed) - after that I calmed down and got the load back under control. 

Effective training is expensive, but worth doing.

[Very coincidentally the security image is like a crawler crane - RB27]

On-line language is often miss-read especially when gaps are left

Hi Joanne, 

Hope you are well. 

This is something I might be able to help with depending on what you are looking for and what your requirements are.  Please can you send me an email to ashleywatson@citation.co.uk and I can discuss this further with you. 

Alternatively (if you know how, I don't).  You can contact me directly on here and we can go from there.  

Many thanks :)
