In today's fast-paced professional development and compliance training landscape, eLearning's emergence has truly revolutionised how we learn and grow. As a leader in this innovative field, The Mandatory Training Group harnesses cutting-edge technology to provide comprehensive online training solutions. In this blog, Lewis delves into the crucial importance of meeting statutory and regulatory requirements while enhancing operational efficiency and safety across the healthcare, adult social care, and children's services sectors.

The rise of eLearning - Key facts and statistics

The global pandemic significantly accelerated the shift towards eLearning, necessitating rapidly adapting remote training methods. Today, the eLearning market continues to grow, with the global industry expected to reach $375 billion by 2026. This growth reflects a compelling recognition of eLearning’s effectiveness in fostering flexible, accessible, and comprehensive educational experiences. For organisations like The Mandatory Training Group, this trend underscores the critical role of digital learning in compliance and professional development.

Defining eLearning in professional training

eLearning involves delivering educational content via electronic media, typically on the Internet. This learning mode supports multimedia elements such as videos, quizzes, and interactive simulations, making it a versatile tool for comprehensive training programs.

Relevant legislation and regulations

In the UK, several legislations and regulatory frameworks guide the provision of eLearning in the sectors we serve:

Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 - Ensures that all in-person or online training meets safety standards to protect employees.
Data Protection Act 2018 - Governs the management of personal data in eLearning platforms, ensuring privacy and security.
Equality Act 2010 - Requires eLearning materials to be accessible to all users, regardless of disability.

Additionally, specific guidelines from bodies such as the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and professional councils like the GMC and NMC, stipulate ongoing training requirements increasingly being fulfilled via eLearning solutions.
