The Birth of Mobile Phone Learning for SMEs? 

It is rare nowadays to not have a SMART phone, we seem to spend most of our lives on the phone and use it as a major source of learning whether we realise it or not.

When you look at contingency planning for Coronavirus within the corporate market, in the event of the worst case scenario ‘lockdown’ with employees having to stay at home, they are looking towards online learning platforms to ensure areas such as, annual compliance and policy training up to date, enhance best practice by creating materials for employees to work through (both technical and non-technical) and generally keep their people learning and engaged with the business, which will be vital. Therefore, mobile learning presents a great way to keep people productive and provides a platform people are comfortable with using.

Steve Walker CEO Peritus ‘We appreciate this is a difficult time for all businesses and contingency planning is key to sustaining some form of business as usual. The growth of mobile learning will be astronomical over the coming weeks with forward thinking businesses embracing the use of online learning technology for the first time. We have launched IMPROVE to provide the most cost effective option on the entire UK market to support our customers. I personally believe the current situation will change the way we deliver learning and training in the SME market forever.’’

‘We now have an increasing number of recognised customers across a wide variety of sectors with a large volume of businesses currently trialling the platform, as we believe the best businesses always find a way to ‘IMPROVE’

Peritus have recently launched the first ever online learning platform specifically for SMEs.

From £30 per month for the entire business customers can have their own online learning platform where their people can access the training their business wants them to complete via their mobile phone, laptop, tablet etc. The platform comes with 40 great online courses, such as health and safety, GDPR, customer service and range of management training, so there is plenty for all staff to work through! You can add your own courses/materials and even track and report on everything in ‘real time’ providing full visibility on the training people are completing with a date and time stamp!

When you look at the research around the need for mobile learning in the current climate, the capability to keep your people learning even in a period of potential lockdown could be a great move to mitigate the risks of lost time, in particular where you have productive based staff otherwise what else are they going to do?

Latest research shows that 45% of courses are completed quicker as a result of mobile learning and 70% of learners feel more motivated to complete mobile learning, as they can do this anytime and anywhere!
