WillowDNA continue to be recognised as one of the most exciting providers in online learning, with their combination of blended learning design and learner centric hosted platform proving popular at the industry's major awards.

It's been a busy fortnight for WillowDNA on the award circuit.  Last week, the team secured bronze at the 2013 e-Learning Awards in the hotly contested 'Best use of e-learning to ensure compliance with external regulations or internal policies' category for their work with the IPA on their comprehensive Legal Regulations programme and mobile companion.  

Today, they have been shortlisted for External Learning Solution of the Year for the 2014 LPI Learning Awards.  'It's the first year we have entered the Learning Awards so we are delighted to have been shortlisted for such prestigious and competitive awards' said Lisa Minogue-White, director of Learning Solutions and Sales at WillowDNA. 'It's our partnership approach, of which we are so proud that appears to shine through with the judges.  It shows how thoughtful and considered learning design with technology as a true enabler is taking organisations on a journey to online learning excellence.'  

Patrick Mills, Head of CPD at the IPA said  ‘Being shortlisted in the Learning and Performance Institute Awards is great a testament to the quality of the IPA qualifications programme. The IPA has now awarded 8,715 certificates over nine years and has consistently achieved excellent feedback scores which have resulted in two consecutive e-Learning Awards with WillowDNA.  To gain success with the Learning and Performance Institute would be the icing on the cake.’

Billed as the L&D Industry Oscars, the Learning Awards 2014 represent the outstanding achievements and innovation that has been driving the sector forward.   This year has seen a significant increase in the number of submissions, with Colin Steed, the LPI's Chief Executive being quoted as saying this year has been 'the most competitive ever.'

The 2014 Learning Awards will be presented at the gala evening on 6th February 2014 at The Dorchester, Park Lane
