Training provider reports a surge in demand for online learning
Yorkshire-based, MNA Group Limited has reported a surge in demand for its online courses as business look to enhance their employee’s skill set and look for practical alternatives to face-to-face training.
The company, which has premises in Goole in East Yorkshire and Bradford in West Yorkshire, recently expanded the range of fully accredited courses that it offers to try to meet this increased demand from customers. Originally known as a specialist provider of health and safety training, MNA Group Limited now offers courses aimed at businesses working across a broad range of sectors, including education, care, construction, and management, and covering a wide range of topics.
The company, which provides training to everyone from construction firm Hobson Porter to care provider Elizabeth Homes and civil engineers Land & Water Services are now able to offer online First Aid Refresher courses, which would previously have had to be carried out face-to-face, ensuring that employers can keep their designated First Aiders’ knowledge and skills up to date.
Organisations that MNA Group work with are provided with access to their own personalised Learning Management System, where their employees can be allocated with their own individual training programmes to work towards.
Health and Safety Manager Kath Lockwood explained:
“The Learning Management System is fantastic tool, because employers have a link to the portal, which features their logo or branding, so it becomes their own personalised training suite. As well as enabling employers to allocate online training courses to employees, they can also check the progress employees are making towards completing the courses and send reminders out, if necessary, as well as printing training reports and certificates”.
It’s evident that more and more, employers are looking to different solutions to offering training to their employees. Online training provides a way to be able to train employees in key topics and areas whilst having less impact on productivity, timescales, and costs.
