College celebrates another national training award

J Basford | Tuesday, November 30, 2010

The Fire Service College is delighted to have been honoured with another prestigious National Training Award in recognition of its outstanding contribution in facilitating learning through the use of online media and tools.

The College and IMC (UK) Learning were announced winners in the "best online or distance learning programme" category at the National E-Learning Age Awards in London. IMC supplied the software system used by the Fire Service College.  The award was in recognition of our collaborative design and delivery of a blended learning approach for Hazardous Materials training.

The who's who of e-learning gathered to celebrate the strength and depth of successful e-learning that is taking place across the globe.  A record 37 winners were recognised within the 16 award categories.  The E-Learning Awards showcased the astonishing range and quality of e-learning within private, public and not for profit sectors.

Competing with over 200 other entries from the UK, the US, Europe and the Far East the award judges said "This skilfully blended and powerfully implemented solution made an excellent impression on the judges. The e-learning has galvanised a traditional course where attendance had been falling.  The course is now fully booked even after the FSC put up two more course to cope with rising demand."
