On-line training programme

Key Line learning facility

The Key-Line facility was launched in 2004 and is aimed at practitioners that wish to take their development further but at their own pace and in their own environment. By September 2005, over 1300 members had registered to join the site.

You can join directly on-line by accessing the website www.key-line.org.uk. There is a short application form to complete and you will be able to select your own user name and password. Receipt of your application will be confirmed by an automatically activated e-mail reply service.

Once you have become a member there is a host of materials available to you from the website. The site is designed in modules so you can develop your understanding of chunk-size areas of learning and development techniques and background to the key skills units. The modules are closely linked to the National Standards for Learning and Development.

The modules currently on the site include:

• Coaching learners for key skills
  
• Key skills induction
  
• Reviewing key skills progress
  
• Creating integrated learning materials
  
• Staff development for key skills
  
• Introduction to the keys skills standards
