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
Phenomenal support network
“A phenomenal support network with a family-feel to them.
Everyone goes above and beyond and is super friendly. I couldn’t recommend CLC enough”
Louise Oliver, BH Live
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
Other providers tried to make us fit their product
“We’ve been so impressed with the service provided by the Charity Learning Consortium (CLC) right from the start. The needs we had were not typical to a normal Learning Management System and it often felt like other providers tried to make us fit their product. However, CLC took the time to understand those needs before offering a tailored, flexible platform that we could make our own.
CLC really understands the charity sector, what charities are looking for, and how to provide it for them.”
Liam Maguire, Christian Aid
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
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
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.
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.
Digital transformation at BPAS
Training at the British Pregnancy Advisory Service has been transformed from classroom based to a blended approach which people love. This dynamic new way of learning has seen the charity save money whilst increasing the scale and reach of the training.
The digital transition has been so successful that 95% of all clinical training is now online.
“They love the blended approach, rather than the room-based lecture approach that we’ve always done in the past,” says Jacqueline.
