Want to commission an eLearning module?
We partner with charity learning, such as Little Man Project, to develop custom-made, interactive content and deliver this via our learning management system.
If you’re interested in commissioning an eLearning module, our Learning and Events team will manage the project from start to finish, keeping you informed and involved every step of the way. We’ll guide you on key areas such as accessibility, language, and design, and use our expertise to make sure your module meets the outcomes you want your learners to achieve.
