What is a Learning Pathway?
With over 300+ courses included in a monthly subscription, your employees can be overwhelmed navigating their learning journey.
That’s why we’ve designed 20+ structured learning pathways – grouped selections of courses that develop essential skills for specific roles.
Instead of choosing courses individually, a Learning Pathway provides a structured way to build knowledge step by step, ensuring you develop the right skills in a logical, progressive manner.
For example, this Online Reception Customer Service Course focuses on key receptionist skills such as communication, phone etiquette, handling enquiries, and creating positive first impressions.
Organised Learning
Employees follow a structured learning pathway, ensuring they gain essential skills in the right order without guesswork.
Saves Time & Effort
No need to manually select courses – our pathways remove the complexity, so employees can focus on learning.
Job-Specific Skills
Each pathway is designed for specific roles, ensuring employees develop the right skills to perform at their best.
By completing a pathway, employees gain confidence knowing they’ve developed a set of core skills tailored to their role, rather than just picking random courses.
