Webanywhere moves into Canadian market with LMS for Get Ready Online

Leeds, West YorkshireLearning NewsWebanywhere Limited

Yorkshire-based Webanywhere has completed the development and implementation of a Totara based learning management system with integrated e-store for Canadian first aid training course provider, Get Ready Online.

Canada-based Get Ready, Inc provides accredited training programs in First Aid, CPR and AED, to 'get you ready' in the event of a medical emergency. Within this market, they identified opportunities to offer a fun and realistic approach to training, and in so doing, reduce the impact of workplace and home accidents and injuries in a fully managed online learning environment. A new website has also been developed to market the training content to diverse audiences with differing learning requirements, plus an integrated e-store solution to manage the selling and learner communications.

Webanywhere's web solution is based on the Totara LMS, with an easy to use online interface that accommodates all training needs in one place and delivery of content, tracking and e-commerce across a range of users. For their business audience, Get Ready can now provide medical first aid content that covers key areas of emergency medical practice, according to the client's professional focus and the service program selected. This is achieved using a multi-tenant LMS architecture developed by Webanywhere, hosted in the cloud, with Webanywhere also retained to provide technical support services.

Scott Ashley, Program Director at Get Ready, said "the multi-tenancy solution implemented by Webanywhere allows us to host several clients and service programs on the system, which means we have achieved economies of scale that we wouldn't have otherwise with a proprietary LMS. Totara fits into our business plans as the software is constantly evolving at no extra costs to the end user."

Conor Gilligan, Head of Operations of Totara LMS Gold Partners Webanywhere, said "our proven experience with the use of Totara LMS as an integrated solution for training and CPD gives clients the assurance of longevity, interoperability and scalability for future growth. Totara is a good fit for the healthcare sector with many features 'out of the box' such as CPD tools and sophisticated reporting for managers."
