What our members say

It’s so much more than technical support
“Working with the Consortium for the past 2 years has been a joy. The technical support is top-notch – the helpdesk is so responsive and their help is always easy to follow. It’s so much more than technical support – I feel I have been part of a dynamic, constantly developing community. There is real passion for good learning and excellence in the field. I will be moving on to a new role and one of the things I’m most excited about is continuing my relationship with CLC.”
Gwen Wells, Key Community Lifestyles

Access to the best ideas
“I feel so grateful to have access to the best ideas and creativity across the charity sector. This could only happen in this way in the non-profit world where caring is sharing!”
Tania Hummel, Whizz Kidz

Good value price
“They promote a range of great digital content for a good value price that we wouldn’t be able to otherwise afford.”
Helen Wyatt, The Brain Tumour Charity

Mandatory training has vastly improved
“The reporting feature is excellent and our managers can now easily identify completion training gaps and address them with ease through simple monthly reports in the LMS. Our compliance to mandatory training has vastly improved since we introduced our new LMS. Huge thank you to Louise who has made our transition seamless!”
Claire Murphy, Bristol Zoological Society

Amazing!
“A massive thank you from all of us here at Dingley’s Training for assisting in getting our automated certificates off the ground. With your help we’ve managed to save ourselves several hours a week, which will be so useful going forward. You were so patient, knowledgeable, willing to help and went above and beyond to get the certificates started as soon possible. Amazing!”
Rachel Thompson, Dingley’s Promise

Makes hard work easy
“They make what seems like hard work, easier!”
Leanne Jenkins, Royal Voluntary Service

The welcome has been amazing
“We have only just signed our contract but the welcome has been amazing. We’ve been introduced to key people who genuinely want to help us. We can’t wait to get started!”
Lauren Baines, PSS

Honestly haven't got a bad word to say about them
“CLC has been nothing short of fantastic. They provide both LMS and eLearning content, and I honestly haven’t got a bad word to say about them. Their commitment goes beyond just delivering a great platform – they actively support charities and foster a strong network that encourages members to link up and collaborate.
The LMS itself is constantly evolving, with new features and improvements driven by their hardworking team who genuinely listen to our ideas and turn them into reality. The helpdesk and membership team deserve a special mention too – they are approachable, friendly, and always on hand to provide support whenever needed.
CLC sets the standard for what a supportive, innovative, and community-minded partner should be. Highly recommend!”
Louise Watkinson, BH Live

A festival of eLearning
“You are immersed into a festival of eLearning with people who have creative and growth mindsets.”
Graeme Clark, The Advocacy People

The community is so supportive
“It’s about L&D yes but it’s also so much more. The community is so supportive, diverse and keep striving for new and better ways of engaging and driving development.”
Nina Johansson, British Rowing

For charities
“It makes eLearning simple, accessible and affordable for charities like us”
Carly Lyes, Depaul

Easily accessible
“It makes eLearning more streamlined, comprehensive and easily accessible”
Marina O’Malley, Think Ahead

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.
