New eLearning courses from GGR

Training for two floor cranes added to GGR’s online eLearning portfolio.

GGR Group has launched another LEEA accredited eLearning training course for the GML 500+ and GML 800+ floor cranes, as part of its Safe Use of Floor Cranes series.

After a successful launch of its online training and eLearning last month (October 2022), the addition of this new course demonstrates a further commitment to eLearning, with more equipment categories such as cladding vacuum lifters and glazing robots to be added in the coming months, says GGR.

When it comes to training courses for the lifting industry, GGR Group says it has always been a leader. It was the first UK company to offer CPCS A66 training for compact cranes, and it helped set up the UK's first accredited training course for vacuum lifters with RTITB. The company also started the first LEEA-approved training for glazing robots and portable floor cranes in the UK in 2013.

Since 1995, GGR Group has been running training programmes, training thousands of people at its training centres in Oldham, Haddenham, and Blantyre, and the company says they have proven to be very popular.

Terry Cheese, group training manager at GGR Group, said, "I am delighted to be involved with introducing eLearning to GGR and the launch of this course is only the tip of the iceberg of what we have planned.

"So far the courses have been very well received and we are already taking bookings via our online portal, which is shown on the GGR Group and GGR Training websites. Feedback to date has been excellent.

"All of our programmes have been designed by us, and many of them are accredited, so you can be sure that everything in them is technically correct and directly related to the equipment we supply.

“We also want people to enjoy the experience of eLearning, to include ease of use and to have fun whilst learning new things. Our eLearning designs include things like interactive scenarios, high-resolution images, quizzes and tests, narration, videos and instructional films, animation, and downloadable documents.

"Our growing collection of eLearning is kept safe on our cutting-edge Learning Management System. It is easy to navigate and is broken up into manageable sections. Learners don't even have to finish it all in one sitting. They can come and go as they please because their progress is saved as they go. We've also made sure that our eLearning works on a variety of devices, so learners can easily access our online training from their desktop, tablet, or phone.”
