How we help
Transform your approach to training
The business impact of poor health and safety management can be significant: reduced productivity, higher staff turnover, damage to your reputation, and even fines and prosecution. Of course, the primary concern is the welfare of your workforce.
Providing health and safety training to your managers and employees is not only a legal requirement but will develop confidence and awareness of critical risk management topics, reducing the potential for costly safety incidents.
- 250 courses covering Compliance, Health & Safety, Wellbeing and Performance topics
- Boost employees’ skills, knowledge and confidence with refresher courses
- Keep training costs down with unlimited access to a full range of relevant material
- Monitor training progress at a glance, including individual scores and who needs to re-sit
- Demonstrate commitment to employee development with training certificates

We offer a holistic catalogue of courses and different ways of delivering them
Adaptive courses
Why waste time covering old ground? With our adaptive courses, learners are given a pre-assessment to gauge their current understanding and knowledge gaps. Based on this, courses are then automatically tailored to their individual learning needs for maximum impact.
Detailed study courses
If you prefer a more ‘traditional’ e-Learning approach, our detailed study courses present learners with information, then test their comprehension afterwards. As the name suggests, these are longer, more in-depth courses, but contain interactive and engaging elements to hold learners’ attention.
Immersive courses
Training doesn’t have to be dull and boring. Our immersive, scenario-based courses place the learner at the centre of the experience and test their ability to make the right decisions. Highly interactive, they are designed to improve learner engagement.
Microlearning courses
Some forms of training can result in information overload. These bitesize courses present key topics in digestible 5 to 10-minute segments, boosting knowledge retention. They can also be rolled out easily in response to emerging training needs.
Toolbox talks
Our courses are also available as toolbox talks – a collection of resources designed to support small-group training. Our toolbox talks contain a number of multimedia training materials for managers – from animations and diagrams to detailed facilitation notes – to illustrate the points being made and encourage discussions.
Communications resources
To reinforce the key learning messages and behaviours conveyed in our courses, and promote a culture of compliance, we also provide a suite of supporting resources that you can print out and display in the workplace, or share digitally via your intranet, newsletter or display screen.
Cost-effective, time-efficient employee development
At Ellis Whittam, we understand that taking time out for employee training isn’t always possible. Nevertheless, as an employer, you want to know that your staff are fully equipped to undertake their duties safely and compliantly – and that your business is protected – without affecting productivity or spending a fortune.
e-Learning is the perfect solution. Not only is it more cost-effective than classroom training, but it keeps downtime to a minimum, puts employees in charge of their own development, and allows training to be completed at a pace that suits each individual and with minimal disruption to their daily work role.
Popular FAQs
Common questions about our e-Learning courses.
Are the courses accredited?
Our courses are CPD certified and approved by RoSPA.
Do learners receive certificates?
Yes. Certificates are automatically generated via LearningNest when a user successfully completes a course.
How often do you upgrade content?
Our courses are regularly updated and maintained; any legislative changes affecting our content are made straightaway and topic areas are refreshed every 18-24 months.
Are courses mobile-friendly?
Our courses are responsively designed and fully accessible on mobile, tablet, laptop and desktop devises. Our MyAstute app also allows content to be downloaded and accessed via a mobile device, allowing for offline access to content, with results automatically synced with the platform when next in internet connectivity.
Are the courses specific to industry sectors?
Our courses have been created as general awareness modules suitable for any industry, so don’t specifically align to one sector.
What is the average run time of a course?
The average length of a course varies depending on the style of course, with formats available to suit all requirements. Our Detailed Study courses, which are typically longer and more detailed, take between 30 minutes to one hour to complete. Immersive courses are typically between 10 and 30 minutes in duration, and courses in our Take 5 series are typically five minutes in duration. We then have some Adaptive and Diagnostic Assessments that provide personalised training paths, meaning each user will have a personal run time depending on their current knowledge level; this ranges from 10 minutes to one hour and 15 minutes.
Do your courses have an assessment?
Our Detailed Study, Immersive and Adaptive courses have assessments built in to assess and record users’ comprehension of the learning; these are pre-set to a pass rate of 80%. Our Take 5 courses have an assessment built in to aid the learning process, but these assessments don’t contain a pass mark.
Can you report on completion?
Yes. LearningNest comes with a full analytics area that has a wide variety of reporting capabilities, which includes a visual dashboard, standard reports, and a report builder, to ensure the data required is accessible. Using the xAPI format to capture completion data allows granular data to be stored, such as question-by-question responses from users, allowing greater insights to be made.
