Football forms the metaphor for an e-learning programme on manpower planning, produced by the global e-learning producer, Tata Interactive Systems (TIS), for Royal Mail.
"Our philosophy is to meet best practice standards and compliance obligations but to keep it as simple and practical as possible - so that it sticks with our learners! We design all our courses using experienced health and safety professionals with industry sector knowledge.
"We began our partnership with TIS recently by producing a programme on fire service related health and safety issues," he continued.
"The course we've produced is called, 'Manual Handling for the Fire and Rescue Services'.
"There is a real market need for the sort of blended learning programmes that we are producing with TIS - especially because the learners tend to work shifts, which can make it difficult for them to attend 'traditional' classroom-based training courses," Meek added.
"Having a wealth of vital information available to them in e-learning form means that learners can access these materials at any convenient time - such as quieter periods at work.
"The key benefit of having these programmes is that they deliver up-to-date vital safety information to front line professionals at their work bases - which will not only help these professionals to perform their duties but will also help them to keep the rest of us safe!" TIS's Sunil Mehta commented: "Although TIS has many years experience in producing e-learning materials - and has completed over 1,000 individual e-learning projects - we're delighted to be partnering Solutions Training and feel sure that the learning materials that we are producing will attract a great deal of interest from 'first response units' throughout the UK.
"Moreover, TIS's partnership with Solutions Training now enables us to offer all our corporate clients access to this wealth of health and safety-related subject matter expertise, instructor-led training and e-learning approaches," he added.
