Blended Learning is an innovative way to get the most out of your training, and the one-stop solution to all training worries.
It incorporates all methods of training required in the health and social care sector, to ensure that staff are trained to quality standards and become reliable, knowledgeable and confident members of your team.
Blended learning is:
Online training and Practical Face to Face training
It is important to recognise that some skills required by staff must be practically taught in a face to face setting, to ensure that they can work diligently and at the standard expected when supporting vulnerable individuals.
Online training lifts the burden away from your training by providing all the necessary learning for the underpinning knowledge expected of your staff. It takes the weight off so that you can concentrate on the practical skills needed for mandatory requirements.
Online training is the valuable asset to your face to face training, resulting in service compliance.
Blended Learning for your mandatory subjects will end the frustration and lift the pressure and assist your organisation in getting quality trained and competent, compliant staff out working in a timely and efficient manner.
What Are The Benefits of Blended Learning?
1) Flexibility
A blended learning solution provides flexible training. This means practical elements of a course can be taught face-to-face, while other elements can be provided within online courses.
The online element to training will increase flexibility and convenience over how and when your staff can participate in training.
2) Increased Effectiveness
The blended learning training method has been proven to enhance both the effectiveness and efficiency of meaningful learning experience. Vastly improving retention, while saving time and money.
3) Efficiency
A well-planned blended learning solution can help you to efficiently and quickly deliver the right training to a broad audience. With comprehensive e-learning and a strategical blended learning process in place, it will help you to get more staff up to your organisation and the industry standards.
4) Cost-effective
As social care providers, we understand that training budgets are tight. Blended learning allows you to include more online training options into your training, which will save you on missed work, travel, room hire and employing a trainer to spend a couple of days going through theory that can be done via e-learning, equating to massive savings!
5) Personalised to the business
Using an external trainer or e-learning platform won’t be customised to your organisation. This is why a well-crafted blended learning solution can provide a seamless transition from classroom to online delivering a personal tone to your organisation’s needs. You can also include relevant factors alongside the training to ensure your staff get a well-rounded and personalised content to a care worker’s specific job requirements. This allows new staff to find their feet within the business much quicker.
6) Incorporates Different Learning Styles
When building a foundation for your training solution, it is important to consider the different learning styles your staff may have. A well-structured blended learning solution gives your staff the best of both worlds as it caters to all types of learning styles through a variety of techniques.
7) Easy To Track and Evidence
It can be challenging to collect feedback from an in-house or third-party trainer. With an LMS that clearly tracks employee activity, course completions and scorings, the efficacy of blended learning is more easily measured and checked for compliance as well as also being easily accessible for evidencing if the CQC requires it.
