Before candidates are registered on the eprogramme course sponsors need to select optional elements that satisfy the organisational/individual need but within criteria to ensure ILM compliance. Optionality exists in regard to ebriefing, WBA’s (Level 3 & 4) and workshop content design, duration and frequency.

The system has an in-built schedule to periodically and automatically email the participant with instructions in regard to where they are and what they need to be doing and when. These instructions will typically include assignment and project briefs, preparation for knowledge tests and preparation for workshops.

A personal training plan will open for each module (see ‘My eprogrammes’ on the system’s home page. Clicking on the eprogramme will display the participants personal training plan and enable them to register for that modules ebriefings. Upon successful completion of a registered ebriefing CPD hours are awarded – see ‘Personal records’ – ‘eBriefing history’ and ‘CPD hours history.

The system will advice the participant when they can sit their optional module knowledge test and what the result was. Their personal training plan is then updated and test questions the participant failed to get right are displayed and the related elearning bites are emailed daily one at a time for refresher study.

Should any participant fail their test a period of refresher training is built in and they will then be allowed a test resit.

When participants have successfully completed all the required assessed elements then they will be moved to the next module. (Though earlier modules will remain open for refresher learning).

We recommend clients design and issue to participants a "key learning points - application to their company" form.

For blended learning courses these forms can be produced and reviewed at the end of each workshop day and subsequently reviewed by the participant's line manager when producing a PDP in support of a WBA. We recommend that participants nominate a "review manager" to manage this process (i.e. on a rotating basis) and also to conduct a short group discussion on their thoughts and experiences following each major "break away" exercise to consolidate learning and its application before moving on and to lead the end of day review.

Candidates are empowered and must accept responsibility for their learning.
