Q3 launches iAM e-learning platform

Q3 has launched a new e-learning platform in collaboration with iAM Learning, to deliver a wide range of statutory and mandatory training courses to its administrative and operational staff.

As the majority of Q3 people work remotely across the UK, an online platform offers the most flexible way to ensure the company can deliver standard practices and training efficiently, consistently, and at scale, thus ensuring compliance needs are met across the workforce.

iAM Learning contains over 300 online courses covering a wide range of not only mandatory courses spanning subjects such as Health and Safety, COSHH, PPE and manual handling, but also voluntary training modules that can support individuals in their personal and professional development.

The learning platform lets users set their own pace and undertake learning on desktop or mobile apps, in a way that suits them, and at a time that suits them. iAM Learning has been chosen because of its extensive use of videos and imagery, making content simple and easy to follow, when used in conjunction with supporting written material.

Line managers can monitor the progress of their direct reports and are trained to provide the necessary support to help individuals to complete the training. Once individuals exceed the benchmark score for any particular module, they receive a certificate confirming successful completion.

Speaking at the launch of the iAM Learning project, Lucy Hayes HR Director, said, ”One of Q3’s core values is ‘Quality People’, and with workforce numbers increasing almost daily, the time was right time to ramp up our investment in people skills, by rolling out this highly adaptable and effective, online resource”.
