A legislation-efficient training platform which could save colleges thousands from their training budgets has been developed by e-learning and diversity training specialists for the FE sector, Marshall ACM.
At a time when the FE sector is facing the severest funding cuts in a generation, there remains a real need to demonstrate clear compliance on a number of key topics such as equality and diversity, safeguarding, health and safety and data protection. Marshall ACM's online training portal, which is regularly updated to ensure legislation compliance, takes the pressure off scaled back in-house training budgets and raises the profile of staff development.
CEO of Marshall ACM, David Marshall said, "Four colleges have now adopted our e-learning training portal for every one of their staff. We tailored our portal to reflect the ethos of each college, and by implementing college branding and policies into our training package, staff could see that their e-learning courses were relevant and meaningful to them.
"As our online portal places an institution's training needs into one online package, it is simple to manage and it is kind to training budgets too. As institutions are looking for more value for money, they are relying more on e-learning to provide compliance in a challenging financial climate."
As well as having the option to store existing training courses on the portal, the training system allows for both individual and organisation-wide training, reducing the need for day-long training courses and the reliance on outside consultants who can charge over the odds for their services.
"The reality is that colleges can no longer afford the cost of outside consultants," Marshall said. "Many have tried to hire in e-learning managers but they do not have the content expertise and if they leave, the college is left with a system they do not know how to manage.
"By applying our training portal, colleges can save up to 50k pounds a year in consultancy costs and IT infrastructure. We train staff to use everything themselves too, so ultimately, they are not dependent on us, although we are always there for additional support."
Marshall ACM is currently working with a large college group in South East England to implement a student induction version of the e-learning training portal across their college multi-sites.
The e-learning training portal is available for UK-wide college use from October 2011.
