Working as an associate with the Faraday Partnership - which helps organisations
in the public, private and voluntary sectors to design their futures and develop
their people through executive coaching, strategic in-house consultancy support
and modular development programmes – the specialist independent supplier
and developer of bespoke learning delivered by computer, Trainer1, is building
an ‘info learn’ induction course to provide an overview of how the
Government Offices for the regions work within Europe. Already, Trainer1 has
produced the first of three commissioned modules – part of a programme
providing an introduction to EU funding.
The course aims to set out operational and financial procedures and will be
available via an intranet. It is intended to be accessed as and when necessary
– as a ‘half way house’ between knowledge management and e-learning.
The course, which is being rolled out to all seven Government Offices for the
Regions, has been commissioned through the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.
Trainer1’s Neil Lasher commented: “These modules are a novel use
of computers to disseminate combined learning and performance support tools.
As such, this may mark the start of a new manifestation of combining e-learning,
performance support and knowledge management.
“While we are delighted to be working with the Faraday Partnership under
the direction of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, the last few months
have seen unprecedented growth in Trainer1’s activities – with a
number of major projects begun in both the public and corporate sectors,”
he added.
Among Trainer1’s other significant, current, projects are:
· When Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) decided to roll out ICT induction
training for its staff recently, it turned to Trainer1 to produce relevant e-learning
materials. In addition to producing custom-built e-learning materials for CCC,
Trainer1 also supplied the Lectora authoring tool to the council to enable its
in-house developers to also produce some of these e-learning materials.
· Global international human resource consultancy Mercer has awarded
Trainer1 a contract to train Mercer’s staff in the UK to use the Lectora
authoring tool to create e-learning materials for its IT and training staff.
· Westinghouse Rail Systems (WRS) has rolled out the use of the Trivantis
learning management system (LMS), CourseMill, and authoring tool, Lectora. These
products have been supplied to Westinghouse by Trainer1. WRS is also exploiting
the opportunity of using Zirada, the Lectora authoring tool for publishing materials
on pocket PCs and Palm PDAs.
· Trainer1 is expanding work with Lanarkshire County Council to help
the council’s trainers develop e-learning materials using the Lectora
Publisher authoring tool.
· Trainer1 is also engaged in a training project for the global organisation,
Mitsubishi Corporation.
· Baker Tilly has commissioned Trainer1 to carry out some course development
work following Baker Tilly’s implementation of the CourseMill LMS.
· ABN-AMRO has contracted Trainer1 to further develop a series of anti-money
laundering courses, previously created for their staff by Trainer1. These courses
are being delivered via e-learning in eight languages across the corporation
and have already been successfully used by over 18000 staff.
· Alliance & Leicester has purchased Lectora Publisher from Trainer1
in order to produce its own e-learning materials.
· Associated Newspapers (AN) have commissioned Trainer1 to create learning
materials for AN’s legal team which will help to keep this team up-to-date
on the laws of libel and related issues.
