Often e-Learning courses vary in quality and content, we will identify what to look out for when choosing the best e-Learning courses for your Health and Social Care organisation. When looking for an e-Learning provider for your courses, you should look at a range of different variables to ensure they will provide your organisation with the correct learning outcomes and content, to reflect your organisations Learning and Development needs.
We will not provide you an in-depth list of which e-Learning courses are best for Health and Social Care as we believe the need within each Health and Social Care environment is different and the same courses highlighted may not benefit all roles and settings.
How do I know which e-Learning courses I need?
Within the Health and Social Care sector, we rely on training that is not only up-to-date but can deliver accurate information to our care givers. Although we want this to be relevant to our staff members, where do you begin your research in ensuring you have the best e-Learning courses within your Learning and Development Toolkit.
We recommend looking at regulatory bodies and their measuring criteria to help you identify which courses can help support your Learning and Development needs, whilst ensuring compliance inspections are met. We often look at the Skills for Care framework so that basic needs are met for compliance, The Care Certificate is a great place to start as this covers 15 Standards which are specific to Health and Social Care.
Most e-Learning courses must fulfil the needs of your staff, this means these courses should be engaging, immersive and interactive. This is to help support numerous types of learning styles through a Blended Learning approach.
How can I look out for quality from the e-Learning course and provider?
When looking at e-Learning courses and providers, we recommend looking into certifications and accreditations associated with each course or provider. One familiar certification is known as CPD, Continuing Professional Development, if a training course has been accredited this way, it means it has passed their framework to reflect their expertise into and structured and recognised approach to learning. Not only can specific courses be given the CPD certification, but learning providers can also become accredited CPD partners.
Courses written by Subject Matter Experts, known as SME’s, help keep the content of the training course and learning outcomes relevant to health and social care and roles related to the course. Subject Matter Experts will have in-depth knowledge to help build an engaging and fulfilling training course for your organisation.
