The Charity Learning Index
The assessment tool for charity learning practitioners to benchmark against themselves, as well as other non profit organisations
The Charity Learning Index (CL Index) is a benchmarking tool provided as part of Charity Learning Consortium membership.
It is designed to track your organisation’s progress, assess where you are, reflect on progression and help you decide where you want to be. CL Index data can help you tailor support to where it’s most needed for staff and/or volunteers.
The benchmark tool is structured around 40 questions and is split into four key areas:
1. Skill
What skills do members of your L&D team have, to carry out their roles effectively?
2. Will
What is motivating your learning function?
3. Authority
How do you influence your organisation?
4. Resource
What resources, technologies, materials and learning content are available to you?
The scoring
Our membership managers will be in touch to go through the questionnaire with you and help you calculate where you are on the CL Index. Your answers will determine which category you sit within: Core, Advanced or Established, with Established being the top category.
From here, we will provide you with tailored support and resources.
Why get involved?

Get noticed within your organisation by providing your senior leaders with a snapshot of your improvements.
Get more tailored support
The Index will help the Consortium create targeted resources to help you reach your goals.

Please contact your Membership Manager to express your interest. They will explain the CL Index in a little more detail and answer any questions you may have before we get you started.
“The Charity Learning Consortium has always stood apart from other LMS providers. We pride ourselves on providing way more than just eLearning. We invest a lot of time and effort creating other resources for members, alongside practical workshops to support learning and development success. I want to ensure that everything we do is geared towards members’ needs – and that you can identify what those needs are too. That’s why we’ve created the CL Index. It’s a way to measure your L&D skills and success, identify where you can upskill – and how we can help.”
