Training Programme

The E-Guides training programme 2009/2010 has now completed. At this stage there is no indication about the future of the programme. To keep abreast of the latest news use the link above.

The programme forms part of the Teaching and Learning Programme (TLP) of the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS). 

The programme is a thorough introduction to e-learning and the skills required to use technology effectively in teaching and learning in post-16 education. It is aligned with the National Teaching and Learning Change Programme (NLTCP) delivered by the Quality Improvement Agency (QIA).

Who can be an E-Guide?

The training is aimed at all staff, paid and unpaid, in the learning and skills sector who are involved with the delivery of learning across different subjects and areas of learning. This includes staff from Learning and Skills Council (LSC) funded learning providers in voluntary & community sector organisations, Workers' Education Association, staff in offender learning and skills, work-based learning organisations, local authorities and FE colleges.

E-Guides need to be confident in their use of ICT, enthusiastic about e-learning, willing to champion change and able to work well with colleagues. E-Guides are expected to cascade their e-learning skills and knowledge across their organisations by contributing to the development of their colleagues' e-learning skills.
