Key Takeaways:

E-learning health and safety courses give businesses a flexible way to keep staff trained, compliant, and confident without disrupting day-to-day operations. The online training platform from Acorn Health & Safety provides accredited courses covering subjects such as fire safety, manual handling, safeguarding, and workplace wellbeing, all accessible 24 hours a day. Self-paced learning, progress tracking, and automatic certification help organisations improve safety standards while making training more convenient and cost-effective for teams.

Why do our customers choose us?

We recognise that e-learning is a cost-effective training method and is becoming an increasingly important part of many organisations’ training and development activities, which is why we now offer a selection of e-learning courses to complement the classroom-based learning we offer on our open courses.

Acorn Health & Safety supports businesses across a wide range of industries with workplace training, health and safety consultancy, and compliance advice. Our e-learning platform has been introduced to complement this practical experience, giving organisations a flexible way to deliver recognised health and safety training while maintaining the same high standards expected from our classroom and in-house courses.

Our e-learning courses are accredited by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA), the Legionella Control Association (LCA), the Institute of Fire Engineers (IFE) and the Independent Asbestos Training Providers (IATP).

Our e-learning platform is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and therefore accessible whenever you or your staff team need it. Our administration team are on hand 9-5, Monday – Friday, to answer any software or licence related questions you might have.

We use specialist online video production methods allowing for extremely high quality, fast video download. The combination of the presenter, animations and the quiz style questions keeps the audience interested and stimulated.

The Learning Management Systems are constructed in such a way that a set of questions is introduced after each module. Following successful completion of a course, candidates will receive a system-generated certificate. Training managers use our video training software to keep records and track employee progress through training materials.

Live pictures, animated graphics and the personality of the presenter form part of a very effective virtual learning environment. Our Video e learning provides a completely new medium through which to deliver training online by embedding a live personality directly on the page. It immediately grabs interest and delivers aesthetic appeal that holds attention. The outcome is to increase user engagement and deliver a lasting positive impression.

E-learning achieves better communication through the power of face-to-face eye contact, which builds trust, triggers emotions, and captures a memorable tone and style while communicating the essence of the learning content. It can also complement face to face training. For example, a trades business may opt for a face-to-face asbestos training session initially and then refresh those skills in year two by using an e-learning training course.
