Education and Training Awards 2020

In all, the success of LLAS comes from a desire for people to achieve the best results possible and making proactive steps to ensure that they can. There are many organisations that provide CPD, though few that go out and enthuse people about it. As long as the team remain focused on people, the future for this incredible company seems bright indeed. Company: Leap Like A Salmon Name: Karen Waite Web Address: www.leaplikeasalmon.com Jun20241 Best Online Educational CPD Training Service - UK Education doesn’t end when you leave school, and the most successful people continue to learn throughout their lives. The team at Leap Like A Salmon (LLAS) believe this wholeheartedly, encouraging people to see continued professional development as a chance to develop as a person. We look more closely at the company following its success in the Education and Training Awards 2020. You don’t just stop when you get a job. People need to continue developing, looking for new opportunities and things to learn. The team behind LLAS have made this their business, providing personal, challenging and inspiring support for those who want to continue developing themselves. At the heart of LLAS is the company’s proprietary online CPD hub. This is how people are able to access their own personalised portfolio, to capture and manage their development, share knowledge and reflect on their learning. Through the use of this innovative digital technology, it has become much easier to focus on learning, with the ability to easily reflect and manage personal development as a whole. LLAS ensures that it is able to give equal access to all who want to engage more thoroughly with their own personal development, inspiring great self-awareness and a commitment to CPD. The approach that the team advocates allows them to creatively and innovatively react to the needs of their learners, providing immense value to clients. The company boasts three membership packages, covering the aspects of organisation, professional and essential. This is how the team manages to support the different needs of different clients, and the reason why individuals are able to access for as little as £4.75 plus Vat per users per month. The main ambition of the LLAS team is to provide a positive customer experience, one which allows people to thrive and flourish in their communities. The team have been able to bring together a broad selection of experts who offer impartial and free advice and guidance to those who need it. With its base in Yorkshire, LLAS has entered an industry that is incredibly active, with much support from local businesses and government to encourage activity. The team at LLAS have been able to take up many voluntary and development support roles within the local business community, ensuring that these companies are achieving the best possible results for their businesses and their employees. The online nature of LLAS has proven to be incredibly useful during the COVID-19 crisis, and the team have adapted swiftly to support people in these unprecedented times. Partnering with Fulonteer, a business set up during lockdown to match individuals furloughed with voluntary work in charities, LLAS have been able to make the online CPD hub available for free. This means that any experience they gain will be recorded and reflected when they are ready to apply for work again. The pandemic has brought out the best in many, and for LLAS, it has allowed the team to assess priorities and make decisions that will support people better in the long run. Looking ahead, the team are well equipped to continue with their mission, vision and values. While support for furloughed workers is currently in place, as the situation changes in the UK, so too will this level of support. Before lockdown began, the team were working on finessing core development areas that will be made available as an e-learning program, and work has slowly picked up on this project as the situation has settled.
