Do you need training? Is it worth it?

 

Rusel was very pleasant and helpful – I now have a much better understanding of the reporting system – thanks!

Really useful tips along the way, time saving tips extremely helpful

Brilliant bespoke session, fully met our needs, wish we had done it sooner!

With your Lamplight database customised to your specific needs, we do recommend that you take up one of our training options.

There are also a range of support options available to help you day-to-day.

 

Along with the range of free resources available at anytime directly through your system including full written guidance, videos and invites to free webinars, we also provide a range of training options.

Most weeks there’s at least one training session or free webinar available, and often several, so you can be confident you can access the training you need, when you need it.

 

Free New Starter Webinar

An introduction to Lamplight for new staff starting at your organisation. These webinars happen monthly and new system users are invited to attend when you create their login. They happen monthly and are an ideal part of your induction programme for new staff and volunteers.

Record Reporting Course

Our Record Reporting Course allows for a full-day, deep dive which equips you with the skills you need to run your reports with confidence.

The course runs from 10am to 4pm over Zoom, with organisations from across the sector and there will be time to discover independently, time to reflect, opportunities to actively participate and scope to create important connections with fellow participants. We’ll consider a variety of reporting scenarios from query searches to statistical reports to enhance your repertoire and reinforce your confidence.

By looking at the process in depth, you’ll achieve greater understanding of where in Lamplight you will find the answers that you need. Equipped with the knowledge you’ll learn across a full day, you will enjoy the benefit of having an effective record reporting process that is fully adaptable to the evolving needs of your organisation.


Bespoke Individual Tutorial

We recognise that sometimes people learn best on their own, rather than in a group situation.  We’re happy to provide Individual Tutorials that would be tailored to one person. The session would reflect how they need to use the system, their processes and provide learning at their speed.

These sessions are for 2 hours of 1:1 online training via Zoom. If it’s more appropriate/accessible for the individual, we’re also happy to split it up into shorter sessions.

 

Bespoke Team Training Session

Our bespoke training session provides a customised session for your team, on your system and is prepared specifically for your learning requirements. This means that the team are trained securely on the system that they use. We provide learning hand-on as we interactively share screens and controls.

Each session is for 2 hours and for up to 4 members of staff on Zoom.


All training details and how to book can be done via your own Lamplight system Hub.
