Pune, India, April 21, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Upside Learning has entered into a partnership with THE Group to develop a portal, and all the online courses, for delivering ILM qualification courses online. A leading business consultancy in the UK, THE Group has been providing services in the areas of training and development, systems, HR, quality and strategy for the past 20 years. Associating with Upside Learning will enable THE Group to offer ILM (Institute of Leadership and Management) Level 3 qualification courses in First Line Management online through a portal.

The portal which is based on its flagship Learning Management System - UpsideLMS, has been designed and developed by Upside Learning. The portal features advanced and specific features and functionality required to host and manage accredited courses, support training, provide assignments and assessments.

As learning and accreditation is carried out entirely online, it enables the candidates to achieve management qualifications effectively balancing both – their qualification study and job. Besides, the portal also allows for customization thereby allowing organizations to brand it inline with their corporate branding.

The project manager at THE Group, Sadie Harries comments: “In today’s fast changing business world where almost all industries are characterized by high velocity environments, it is important that organizations don’t just invest in learning programs, but provide anytime, anywhere access to the learning via internet. Our partnership with Upside Learning enables us to do just that - deliver ILM qualification courses online to organizations thereby giving them full control over the place, time and pace of the training.”
