CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF HEALTH OFFERS eLEARNING

March 3rd, 2010

Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) today announces the launch of a new eLearning solution. The pressures of a modern workplace and increasingly transient workforces mean that businesses are seeking new ways to train and retain knowledge within the workplace.

46% of UK employees are now willing to move abroad for work,[1] with many already working away from the office. CIEH eLearning is designed to revolutionise the way that food safety and health & safety training is delivered.

The new offering will offer a cost effective and flexible learning solution which is tailored to the needs of each individual business. It has been designed to increase learner engagement; reduce organisations’ environmental impact; and break down international borders by being made available to employees working overseas.

Des Hancox, Director at the CIEH commented:
“Increasingly high staff turnover means that employers are constantly in need of something that addresses the demands of a mobile workforce working flexible hours. Food safety training is no different. As a champion of vocational skills development, we see that eLearning will be vital for meeting government targets for growth in apprenticeships. [2]”

CIEH eLearning is currently available for the Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering, which is aimed at anyone working in a catering setting where food is prepared, cooked and handled. It was developed following internal research and feedback from training providers, resulting in an integrated eLearning initiative which allows businesses to educate the workforce in a more engaged manner.

By incorporating an interactive hub and fully customisable self-paced learning, the course is suitable for candidates with complex learning styles, different sensory preferences and approaches for particular tasks. With an eLearning offering, the CIEH is able to keep the message regulated to ensure the best possible training for candidates. The businesses themselves will also have a clear understanding of what they get for their money.

Des Hancox added:
“eLearning is continually developing, adapting and changing the education and training world. It has moved from being a group of methods that the occasional enthusiast employed, to a mainstream technique. We have developed the programme to give businesses more choice and accessibility when it comes to training, rather than replacing existing, traditional methods.
