UK Training Industry Press Releases

When Firefighter Sam Wood, of the West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service, logged on to E►nable, the learning management solution from Ilkley's Virtual College, she triggered an alert as the 250,000^th registered learner on the system. 

E►nable allows learners to access learning resources on-line - at a time, place and pace convenient to themselves.

Sam recently transferred from South Yorkshire Fire Service and has been working through a number of firefighter modules to bring her up to speed with West Yorkshire's policies and procedures.  The modules and online assessments provided her with an ideal opportunity for flexible learning that is easy to access and fits in well with both shift and work patterns. 

"I wasn't sure how I would take to computer learning because I have dyslexia," said Sam." The learning itself wasn't a problem - on occasions the subject matter was quite dry, but the material is presented in an engaging and interesting way, so I found it easy to understand and remember."
