eLearning Library for community development

iClick2Learn Community Learning Library is ideal for council community development roles that would like to provide high-impact training and capacity building in your community

The most comprehensive learning in the sector

There are some growing challenges for not-for-profits and government departments at the moment. Not least of which is the need for safe access to training whilst managing financial cuts across the sector. Resources are limited, but access to high-quality training doesn’t have to be. An online learning library leverages digital assets to meet your training needs and your budget. And once your library is up and running, it’ll keep training whoever and wherever you want, for as long as you want.

A learning library will also maximise your resources by:

Improving returns on your investment
Reducing attendance costs
Scaling to any number of participants
Lowering the cost per participant
Reducing staff workloads
Saving time with an automated system
Keeping your training consistent across the board (quite literally)

Need generic training? The iClick2learn learning library contains hours of broad sector-relevant training available to all our members.

Need specialised training? You need customised content, we’ll build you your own learning hub. You’ll choose how much involvement you want from us.

Want us to create everything and run your courses? Done.

Want to utilise our subject matter experts? Sure thing.

Got your own content but just need a library to keep it? No worries. We’ll curate your existing training material and host it on our platform. Your students can enrol and access the structured learning layout including interactive elements, quizzes, gamification and peer learning. Whatever you need, we’ll make it work for you and we’ll even share our tips and tricks for online training delivery, like how to host successful webinars.

You can meet the challenges of training in a pandemic by leveraging digital assets. Our learning library will turn your training problems into training solutions. Whatever you need, we’ll make it work.

Community training is also a great solution for foundations and corporate funders, agencies that support the sector, and member-based associations.
