Epic helps Train to Gain Skills Brokers meet their standards

Epic are delighted to announce they are working with the Learning and Skills Council on a project, to develop e-learning and resource materials for use by Train to Gain Skills Brokers.

Case studies and simulations have been developed to present challenging situations that allow Skills Brokers to explore the effective practice necessary to meet their standards. The programme uses Epic's highly successful Learn/Apply model, offering learners the opportunity to practice their new skills in a safe environment.

The Train to Gain service is focused on helping businesses improve their productivity and competitiveness by ensuring that staff have the right skills to do the best job.

By completing this e-learning package, Skills Brokers will be able to prepare themselves for assessment and help themselves become licenced Skills Brokers with Train to Gain.. They may also wish to dip into parts of the package to refresh their skills at a later date.

Carole Overton, Programme Manager at LSN, said: “The Learning and Skills Council commissioned LSN to manage this project and LSN chose Epic to work with on the e-learning development. The partnership has proved to be an effective one with Epic and LSN working together as a team to enable delivery of an effective e-learning package to assist Skills Brokers in attaining the Skills Broker Standard.

“Skills Brokers themselves have been involved right from the start ensuring that the content of the package is realistic. There has also been close liaison with LSC ensuring that we have an e-learning support that is fit for purpose.”
