Steps to employment

February 12th, 2010

In a move designed to bring new people into the hospitality industry, CPL is working with the employment services sector to train long term unemployed people for work.

The Steps2Work programme is an intensive two-week programme covering the NCPLH or Door Supervision qualifications with literacy and numeracy skills embedded into the course programmes. So far 700 unemployed learners have been on courses since April giving them basic skills they have never had before.

Head of Welfare to Work , Gary Bennett, added: “Our Steps2Work programme breaks down barriers to employment for many people who have written themselves off. We work through the numeracy and literacy elements of the course using real examples from the licensed retail and security sectors.”

Raising the online game

January 29th, 2010

A suite of compliance qualifications has been launched online as a flexible alternative to face to face training.

The newly created division, CPL E-Learning complements the core face-to-face training business but aims to improve accessibility, flexibility and cost effectiveness for a stretched licensed retail workforce.

A review of current online learning products revealed that course content is often delivered in a patronising style with child-like graphics and no obvious benefit beyond reading a course handbook. So, in creating the CPL E-learning courses, a truly global team of expert code writers, graphic designers and 3d animators were brought together. They have produced interactive, relevant learning materials that are appropriate to adult professional learners.

Food safety level 2, health and safety level 2, manual handling, fire marshalling and the Scottish Award for Licensed Premises Staff are now available to an online audience for a fraction of the cost of face-to-face training.

IT Director for CPL, David Dasher commented: "We are the only training provider to span face-to-face and E-Learning courses on this scale and at this quality."

For more information about taking any of the online courses and a short trial demonstration, please go to: www.cple-learning.co.uk.

Trials with the Revolution bar chain have already resulted in a new contract to supply their online learning platform for 18,000 qualifications in the first year. The CPL E-Learning system is embedded into Revolution’s staff website and is linked to their HR system to ensure that every new member of staff falls into the E-Learning regime.
