Our e-Learning System

Helmsman offers one of the most comprehensive suites of Health & Safety, HR and Personal Development e-learning courses available

The e-learning system we have devised for clients offers incredibly flexible and cost-effective options, regardless of the size of your business, the number of employees or the number of courses required. There are no set contracts or expiry dates for when you use the training and it is widely acknowledged that virtual learning courses can give you a saving of up to 80% when compared to classroom courses.

See below for the benefits of how our system works:


How do our e-Learning Courses work and how much do they cost?

All that is required is an internet connection and a screen as training can be done anywhere and at any time.  It does not need to impact on the working day as learners can dip in and out of these flexible courses, there being no requirement to complete them in one sitting or within any period of time. Some of the advantages of using our system are:

  1. You purchase credits in blocks of 10, using a block per subject/per person starting at the equivalent of £18+vat per course. You can then access up to 140 + courses – you do not need to buy set numbers for any subject
  2. The minimum purchase if you are paying by card via this website is one block of 10 credits for one course, or if you are ordering through the office, it is 50 credits (5 courses).
  3. There are no expiry dates on credits, so no requirement to use by a certain time
  4. Your learner will receive a welcome message from the system and this will give them all of the information needed to get onto and complete their learning
  5. All courses use a final test format, so you know that your learner has the knowledge required
  6. Once completed, a certificate can be downloaded or printed
  7. After your initial purchase, you can add to your credits as and when you wish
  8. All courses are available in over 30 different foreign language subtitle options
  9. For orders over 20 credits, we can set you up with your own customised, easy-to-use Learning Management System which will enable you to assign courses, check results, print certificates, prepare reports and generally monitor your training. If you purchase only small amounts of credits we will deal with the admin for you.
  10. We also provide UKATA Asbestos Awareness courses which are separate from our system as they are monitored directly by that body although the whole process is automated. Please contact us for details.

Credits are purchased (10 per course) and they can be used for any of our 140+ titles, you do not need to buy set numbers for any subject.
