SAVINGS ACHIEVED WITH INHOUSE VIRTUAL TRAINING

Recently I had an online meeting with the owner of a homecare organisation who wanted to save money by having their own inhouse virtual training programme supported by trainers, using HTN resources that were available to them as part of their subscription.

Despite having a long-term plan to use their own website they were struggling to put a basic system in place as an interim measure.

The model I was able to assist them with was as follows:

• Personalising 32 Virtual Learning Training Modules with their own logo and organisation introductions.
• Personalisation of an Introduction Letter explaining to employees how the system works and the support available for them through their management and training team, plus help from HTN with additional learner support.
• Personalisation of thirty-two online assessments featuring their own organisation logo and certification instantly being made available through the Healthcare Trainers Network using our own online assessment system.

The immediate benefits for the organisation have been:

• A reduction of 50% in the cost of using their previous online training provider.
• Saving management and employees time by having the ability to set their own refresher schedules based on Skills for Health, Skills for Care and Local Council requirements, instead of their previous provider insistence on annual updates for everything.
• The Care Manager having instant results regarding employee’s use of the system and copies of their certification and assessments.

I know that this system will work for other organisation who are looking to reduce costs and their employees spending unnecessary update time regarding their virtual training provision.

This will also work well for freelance trainers who require support and would benefit from having a trusted partner regarding provision of virtual training for their customers.

The first stage for any organisation or training provider is to secure a low-cost subscription with the Healthcare Trainers Network. Details of the many benefits immediately available are on the following link: www.healthcaretrainersnetwork.com/subscriptions

Remember the Healthcare Trainers Network are here to support you.
