E-learning
The benefits of e-learning
Although you don’t get the interaction with a trainer or the opportunity to network (both of course invaluable aspects of ‘live’ training), e-learning offers other, significant benefits. For 
example:
- You save money: You can easily pay upwards of £100 for a day long training course. Much cheaper than this and the quality can also go downhill quite quickly. Then there may be additional costs such as travel. Our e-learning options cost a fraction of this.
- It’s more convenient: You can choose when and where you train. You stay in control of your schedule and fit your training in around your other obligations.
- The learning gets embedded: Ever been on a course and then forgotten almost everything you learned within a couple of weeks? E-learning allows you to go back and review over and over again. With some options, such as DVD based learning, you get to keep the course forever!
- The learning can be shared: Cascade your learning to your colleagues or use the materials to support your own in house training activities.

Lodestar DVD Courses
The trainer who is always with you! (now there's a scary thought!)
High production values and a real trainer/presenter give our training dvds an edge on traditional e-learning. The key benefits are to be able to watch over and over until you become the expert, to share with colleagues and to make ‘whole team’ improvements. Not to mention the control you get over when, where and for how long you warch.
Our first training course on DVD was launched in July 2009. In 50 minutes and 5 chapters, you will learn how to manage conflicting priorities, differentiate between urgent and important activities, say ‘no’ (and stay friends!), manage your meetings, paperwork and interruptions better and pick up a host of other time management tips.
Priced at less than a days training, (just £49 plus VAT for voluntary organisations and £75 plus VAT for others) this offers a really cost effective way to improve your own skills and those of your colleagues.
