The Challenge
The Public Appointment Services wanted embrace eLearning in their interview skills training delivery. They wanted to ensure all board members where adhering to best practice, following their quality assurance mechanisms and adhering to the codes of practice. The interview skills online course was delivered on a new Moodle Learning Management System.
The Solution
The Learning Rooms designed and delivered five eLearning modules:
- Introduction
