Trainer1 in e-learning partnership with Russia
Business Training Russia (BTR), one of Russia's leading short-term
business education and training companies, has formed a partnership
with Trainer1, one of the UK's leading learning consultancies.
Trainer1's Neil Lasher will be supplying expertise in designing and
developing e-learning materials, while BTR supplies the subject matter
knowledge and localisation needed to produce market-leading e-learning
materials for BTR clients in the Russian market.
Lasher returns to Moscow in early February to continue work with BTR
staff on how to design and deliver successful e-learning materials.
"BTR has an excellent reputation with its clients, which include Audi,
Bacardi, Sony, Volvo, L'Oreal, IKEA and Diageo. Partnership with
Trainer1 will add the experience and expertise to develop the
e-learning materials that the Russian corporate sector is beginning to
demand," Lasher observed.
"BTR, which is at the forefront of the corporate training scene in
Russia, has experienced growth in demand for blended rather than purely
classroom-delivered learning," he added.
"Consequently, BTR initially approached Trainer1 to help it to build a
strategic plan to develop its blended learning offering. This has now
been extended so that Trainer1 is helping BTR to develop the capability
to produce and deliver e-learning materials and partnering with BTR to
bring the expertise in designing and developing content.
"We will be concentrating on helping BTR to develop e-learning
materials that deal with soft skills rather than basic, knowledge-based
e-learning," said Lasher. "BTR is adamant that it does not want to have
to rely on generic e-learning materials and so wants to develop its own
e-learning materials using the training expertise it has as well as the
training materials that it has already designed for use with its
clients.
"In its work, Trainer1 specialises in helping organisations to become
self-sufficient in designing and developing e-learning materials,"
Lasher said. "We are now providing the benefit of our many years'
experience partnering with BTR staff to do the same. We are all looking
forward to a long and fruitful partnership."
Under the terms of the partnership deal, Trainer1 will be working with
BTR to help it build a new market position, as well as transfer the
knowledge and skills required to recruit and train suitable staff,
including instructional designers and training development staff.
