United KingdomLearning NewsLearning Nexus

A new integrated partnership between top financial industry eLearning specialists, Unicorn Training, and Learning Nexus, the UK’s leading eLearning content provider, will enable financial sector organisations to access even greater depth and range of critical online business skills training.

 

The two companies have worked together informally for almost 15 years with Unicorn Training offering a number of Learning Nexus’s business skills and HR and Health and Safety-related courses to clients in the financial services industry. 

But the success of this long-standing relationship has led to Unicorn Training and Learning Nexus now agreeing a more formal partnership to support the financial services sector with a diverse suite of more than 80 titles from Learning Nexus’ high-quality, engaging content catalogue. 

The content includes key legislative messages essential to all UK based organisations and, as a boost for customers of Unicorn Training’s SkillsServe online management system, all the courseware is accessible via the platform. All courses are available as audio or non-audio options and have assessments throughout to ensure knowledge and understanding are fully applied and tested.

Mark Jones, Unicorn Training, Director, said: “It is recognition of the quality of the content Learning Nexus produces that we are happy to extend the number of titles we can offer to our customers. We do what we do exceptionally well, and so do Learning Nexus, which is why we are confident this newly-formalised partnership will bring real benefits to the financial services sector. These business skills courses reflect the high standards people in financial services expect from Unicorn Training.”

Debbie Fairman, Learning Nexus, Customer Care Director said: “We bring up-to-date content with a refreshing new look and feel to our courses, which are developed using the collaborative, cloud-based authoring and editing tool, the Nimbus Course Builder and Editor. We are excited about supporting even more individuals and organisations within the financial services sector in achieving their business objectives and enhancing professional standards in the industry.”       

Aldermore Bank has taken advantage of no fewer than 16 Learning Nexus courses through Unicorn Training in the past year, including such titles as An Introduction to Health and Safety at Work, Fire Safety and Evacuation, as well as RSI - What It Is and How To Avoid It.

Charlotte Michael, Organisational Learning & Development Partner, Aldermore Bank said:“We have always been really impressed with the effectiveness and thoroughness of the courses. Their highly-engaging and concise features means  our staff efficiently receive the mandatory training they need online without detracting excessive time and resources away from our primary business purposes.”
