In order to manage and administer our courses effectively we use an online Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS allows us to automate the registration, course booking, cancellation and event management of our courses, which we feel is important for our administration team but also for you as an individual user. We now have in excess of 9,000 individual users registered on the LMS making the system an invaluable tool for the Workforce Development team.
While a certain amount of automation is required for us to provide an efficient service, the LMS is not intended to replace individual support and advice where required. We have provided detailed information and guidance documents (outlined below) to help you navigate the LMS and make full use of its functionality. Please ensure you are aware of our eligibility criteria and the terms and conditions of booking and cancelling course places before registering and accessing our training.
If you would prefer to contact us for more tailored advice you can do so by email or phone: crncc.training@nihr.ac.uk or 0113 343 0406.
