About Beachcroft
and Absolutely Training Limited

Beachcroft LLP have teamed up with Absolutely Training Limited to develop and deliver a range of cost effective online employment law courses.

 
How is the training delivered?

The training is web-based. The modules and the learning management system to support them can be hosted on Beachcroft’s e-learning host site. Alternatively, Absolutely Training can build a bespoke website to host your organisation’s particular suite of modules.

Can the modules be supplied on CD-Rom or DVD?

The training is not supplied in this format for several reasons:
the learning management system used to support the modules can not be accessed unless the modules are based on the internet;
supplying modules in these formats would require individual installation onto each machine on which e-learning is to be undertaken. By using the web, users can access the training from home p.cs or other locations simply by entering their personal login details;
Delivering training through the web enables us to update the modules much more quickly and efficiently than we could if the modules were delivered via CD-Rom or DVD.

Will the modules be regularly updated?

Yes. Whenever there is a change in the law which affects a training module, the module will be updated to reflect that change – usually within a week of the relevant change taking place. All users will be notified of any changes made, so that users who have already completed the training are aware of the variation.

Can the modules be customised for our organisation?

Yes. The content of the module can be varied to reflect your organisation’s particular requirements or training needs. In addition the design of the module can be varied to suit you – perhaps by the inclusion of our organisation’s branding or by tailoring the graphical examples to your working environment. There is an additional cost associated with the customisation of a standard module – which will be agreed with you before the work is done.

Can you insert links to our employment policies and procedures in the courseware?

Yes - this is no problem.

Can the courseware incorporate audio visual clips as well as Flash graphics?

Whilst this is possible, it may negatively affect the speed at which the courses can be run – particularly if the organization has insufficient bandwidth. We would recommend that you discuss this option with our course designers who will assess what may be possible for your I.T. systems.

What is the learning management system that supports the e-learning?

The learning management system (or “LMS”) which supports the e-learning is Skillshub™. This system is fully SCORM compliant. This means that the courseware may be integrated with most existing learning management systems (if you have one) or used as a standalone system.

How does the learning management system track who has done the training?

The LMS tracks, by name, each individual who has completed the course test and records their test score. Nominated “learning managers” within the organisation can access these reports to identify who has completed the training, who has passed the course test and who has failed the test and may need further assistance.
The LMS allows the organisation to schedule the sending of specific reports (in a format of your choice) to the learning manager’s inbox on a regular basis.

What is “nagware”?

Nagware is the communication facility built into the Skillshub™ learning management bystem. The system enables the organisation to send automated e-mails to users based on defined criteria (e.g. incomplete users for a specific course).

Can an individual take the test more than once?

There is no limit on the number of times each user may take the test or access the module during the licence period.

My organisation has its own learning management software. Will your modules work with our existing LMS?

Yes. All our modules are SCORM compliant – enabling integration with most existing learning management systems.

How does the course test work?

The approach towards the randomisation of the questions in the course test is unique and patented. It means that a user will not be presented with the same test twice and that no two users will receive the same test. This system prevents users from sharing answers.
Questions in the test may be presented in standard multiple choice, multi answer or true / false format.

How are the modules licensed?

The modules are licensed individually on a per user per annum basis.

Programme licenses are available, giving access to all In site from Beachcroft courses at a reduced rate.

How much do they cost?

The licenses are very competitively priced, particularly for high volume users as a range of volume discounts will apply.

For a detailed cost proposal reflecting your particular requirements, please contact Absolutely Training’s marketing team on
0845 130 5138
or your regular Beachcroft contact.

How long does each module take to complete?

The time taken to complete each module will depend on the individual and the content of the course. Some of the more detailed courses may take up to one hour to complete. Most modules should take no more than 40 minutes to complete.
