What we do
When clients switch from traditional training to our digital and virtual training solutions, we can help them demonstrate evidence of a reduction in travel which contributes towards their overall carbon targets.
We choose to host our cloud-based solution through the Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centres, which use renewable energy sources to operate.
Helping local economies thrive is often a key driver for our clients and we are happy to support them by offering advice and information sessions for small businesses in their local communities. By sharing our 15 years of experience as a SME, we can help others just starting up.
To support the Brighton and Hove community, our web developers built a website for a charity working with young people with learning difficulties.
This helps the charity better promote the work they do with young people with Autism, Asperger Syndrome, Dyslexia and ADHD, providing outdoor education and therapeutic support using eco-therapy and outdoor education to complement the school curriculum. This approach has also enabled the Moulsecoomb Forest Garden to gain support from a wider audience and has increased the donations they receive to support their work.
Through our contract with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), we have in place a ‘Social Value’ agreement. We provided access to free training across the GMCA, on a range of topics which are important to personal development.
The local authorities involved have discretion to distribute free access to this training to help address issues relevant to the local area. For example, Rochdale Council has used this to provide free access to training for unemployed people in their area, so they can build new skills and prepare for employment. So far, 2000 people across the GMCA have enrolled on the free courses in this way.
We work extensively with the charitable sector and like to try to give over and above through our contractual arrangements. For example, when we worked with the ManKind Initiative on a digital online training programme to raise awareness of male domestic abuse, we helped with promotion, hosted training on our LMS and we shared revenue from sales equally with the charity.
“We have always been delighted with the responsive approach by the help desk and account managers on the Me Learning team. With their help, we have revolutionised training across our authorities by finding new ways to up skill our employees and partners more effectively using digital rather than traditional techniques.”

“Our trainers are also delighted that the digital suites provide a core foundation. This means they can focus virtual and classroom training on the more complex aspects and areas where our clients need more detailed and specialist support.”

“I don’t think we place sufficient emphasis yet on training in policing and we need to open our eyes to a smarter, digitally led style of learning, which is far more responsive to the needs of individual learners. Me Learning has been working extensively with other public sector organisations for 15 years on this and you can see in many sectors how using technology for learning has vastly improved training outcomes, abstractions and reduced the overall cost of training.”
Andy Rhodes
Former Chief Constable,
Lancashire Constabulary
“I have worked over a period of several months with the professionals from Me Learning and found them to be excellent in both their flexible approaches to solving complex problems and the way they approach challenges in a dynamic and proactive manner.”

“The implementation process was seamless: we literally switched off the old system on a Friday evening and switched on Me Learning on the Monday morning.”

“We considered several products, but chose Me Learning because of its flexibility in tailoring the online courses to suit our Integrated Working training programme. We expect 2,500 practitioners across Trafford to be using online training modules over the next two years.”

Interim Manager for Service Development,
Trafford Council
“The control room can be a really stressful environment so we are keen to do all we can to reduce staff anxiety during this transformation. By deploying digital learning for a substantial part of the training, we have been able to reduce the timescale for training the new system by half. Learners will become more confident with the system quicker and therefore more readily able to adopt new ways of working.”
Paul Lynch
Force Transformation Lead,
Northumbria Police
“With the help of Me Learning we have revolutionised the way learning is delivered across the local authorities in Manchester and across our partner organisations. We are delighted with the service provided by Me Learning, particularly helpdesk response times and the overall can-do approach by all in the team.”
Vicky Castle
Contract Manager,
GMCA
“Spending several days a week delivering the same training over and over again just wasn’t a good use of our time. The feedback on Me Learning has been so positive that we have no intention of going back to classroom training on the basics of Mosaic. Using high quality digital learning is a much better way to deliver this type of training.”
Catherine McPaul
Mosaic Business Analyst
“Our partnership with Me Learning has been so successful that our people are now asking for more training with a heightened enthusiasm to keep on building their skills and knowledge so they can continue to do their jobs to the best of their ability.”

National Museums of Liverpool
“We were delighted to provide exactly the right tools to help improve the quality and availability of training. We look forward to speaking with others to show how online training can alleviate some of the pressure faced by healthcare professionals and give them more time to provide patient-centred care.”
Steve Wightman
Managing Director,
The Access Group
“We are very excited to partner with Me Learning in the UK market. At Newired, we are constantly dedicated to achieving technical excellence in digital adoption. We rely heavily on the ability of our local partners to provide tailored, comprehensive solutions to their customers. Me Learning is the perfect fit for us and for UK customers.”
Stefano Rizzo
CEO,
Newired
“A major highlight of this journey with Me Learning has been the positive culture change we have seen across our organisation. It’s now so clear that online learning has enabled NML employees to understand that courses delivered digitally can provide a highly engaging and responsive experience. This positive shift on how our people view their learning has led to a rise in team members sharing recommendations to each other on courses they should take.”
