Training
Our aim is to train organisations to learn how to effectively use their own learning management system, this includes administration, managing users, courses, content, learning activities, assessment and reporting. Training enables your staff to step through the Course creator and Manager workshops with our expert Moodle, Totara and Mahara software trainer.
Informative, interactive and learner focussed. I recommend these workshops to any institution trying or planning to implement Moodle as their LMS.
