Choosing an LMS that’s right for your organisation can be hard! Here are five things you should ask yourself before purchasing
Rapid L&D at Royal Voluntary Service
“We were looking for 250,000 volunteers to sign up to the programme. 10 days later and we had to switch recruitment off as we had 750,000 volunteers, which was just incredible and rather overwhelming.”
Stacie Lloyd, L&D Manager at Royal Voluntary Service and a member of the Charity Learning Consortium, spearheaded the training of 750,000 NHS Volunteer Responders during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Stacie discusses the challenges faced and how she overcame this monumental task, which involved introducing their ‘Getting you started’ packs – just one of the ways they managed to train so many volunteers in such a short time.
Top tips for digital onboarding
Lisa Bateson of Shaw Trust shares the invaluable insights gained from the rapid hiring and onboarding of over 500 new team members.
Leveraging the Charity Learning Consortium’s eLearning platform, the charity’s induction programme earned recognition as a finalist for an LPI Onboarding Programme of the Year award. From essential modules like ‘Introduction to working safely’ to optional enriching content such as ‘Five ways to wellbeing,’ discover how Shaw Trust’s successfully enabled new colleagues to quickly become effective in their roles.
Driving inclusion and belonging at Warwick Students’ Union
Coming into the charity world for the first time, the limited resources brought out Natasha Patel’s creative side as she began the journey of leading her organisation through EDI.
What was holding people back from discussing and learning more about EDI? What was inaccessible? Why? As a consequence, the daunting language of EDI got a reframe to be called Inclusion and Belonging (I&B) with WSU.
Charity Learning Award winner Natasha Patel shares how she has woven EDI into learning and development at Warwick Students’ Union.

Choosing the right LMS can be tricky!
Here are five things you should consider when choosing an LMS:
1. Extra materials
Are there any extra materials, such as eBooks, white papers and marketing materials, that will help you with your learning strategy? When an organisation has lots of useful extras, it often shows two things; they are credible and they care about helping you.
2. Support team
Like with anything digital, it’s always reassuring to have technical support at your fingertips. Make sure you check that there is dedicated tech support at hand to swoop in and save the day if any complications arise.
3. Price
An LMS can be a pricey investment, albeit an essential one. Always ensure that you are getting your money’s worth with a cost-effective system. And keep an eye out for any pesky hidden charges!
4. Look beyond the LMS
What else comes in the package? Are there free events? Is there a forum that can give you advice when you feel stuck? Make sure that you receive a list of extra benefits so that you can make the best decision for your organisation.
5. Have you taken a test drive?
You’d never buy a car without test driving it first, right? So how can you fully understand what an LMS system has to offer without seeing it for yourself? Having a demo also offers the perfect opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.
