How iHasco helped Robinson College simplify their workplace training
Robinson College (of Cambridge University) was built in the late 1970s and remains one of the newest colleges in Cambridge. Students at Robinson College are still members of the university but they are also part of the smaller college community. Colleges like Robinson College offer a huge amount of individual pastoral and academic support for each student.

What made iHasco stand out?
“I have been involved in staff Health and Safety training for many years. Various obstacles arise when trying to book training for more than 1 individual which could be such things a shift pattern, annual leave commitments, etc. iHasco has provided a simple, easy-to-use alternative that can be completed at any time to suit the client needs. The courses are short and punchy and provide factual information. Many prefer this to physically attending courses too.”

What made you choose iHasco?
In the initial stages, we had criteria for eLearning due to our diverse staff population. We wanted an eLearning package that had the following:rnrnSound – For our visually impaired staffrnText – For our hearing impaired staffrnFlexibility – Ability to resume at anytimernTest – Confirmation of transfer of learning via a test, and the ability to define pass marksrnReminders – Built-in for individual usersrnCertificates – Available to usersrnExport – Ability to export all data easily to interested parties (HR/HSE)rnSecurity – Password protectedrnWe consider ourselves lucky, and we got so much more with iHasco. The training is slick, informative, easy to understand, and well presented. Staff have the ability to rate the training and it always has a high user satisfaction. Staff can dip in and out of their training if required, and what is great is we set the training intervals and the training pass mark. There is always additional information and examples of documents in most modules, and these are a bonus.rnrniHasco provides useful blogs and the whole system has an easy feel to it, so navigation as both a learner and an administrator is simplistic. But if you do struggle, there are lots of guides, online help, or assistance via your Account Manager. We have a great Accounts Manager who now feels like a friend and another member of the team who also responds promptly and seems eternally happy. Working with iHasco has felt like a collaboration from the outset and I would thoroughly recommend it. It does what it says: “Training made simple”.
