About | VSL Consulting

We will go the extra mile

We have over 20 years experience leading IT compliance, data and training projects in regulated industries, for companies such as Novartis, Pfizer, GSK, GE Healthcare and BNFL.

As a small business, we understand that we can only do well if we provide a 5 star service to our customers. That is why we promise to go the extra mile for you. We do not have "opening hours". If we need to meet your deadlines, we will work through the night. If you are based on the other side of the world and need to schedule a meeting with us, we will be available at 2am UK time if that is what is necessary.

We have developed the online training arm of our business to allow you to benefit from our many years of experience with many different customers.

We believe that digital learning, that can be accessed whenever is needed, is the future of learning and development. This is why we are developing e-learning courses that can be accessed online through our secure Learning Management System, or purchased for use on your own LMS.

Passionate and professional

At VSL we are passionate about learning and development, understanding the difference between training and learning. Training is providing information to a person, learning is absorbing that information. Training is only the vehicle to allow learning to happen.

Many companies focus too much on the act of providing training, instead of focusing on whether their staff are actually learning. Training can become a tick box exercise, purely to get a training record and show compliance with the regulations. Of course proof of training is important, but you need your staff to actually absorb the information they are given.

It's all about the Learner

Training material should always be developed with the Learner in mind. Who are they and what do they need to take away from the training? That is why we ask these questions before we begin development of any of our training courses.

Although classroom training has its place in blended learning, it is time consuming and restrictive both for the Trainer and the Learner. That is why we use e-learning to deliver our training, developed for use on mobile devices as well as Laptop/Desktop. Learning patterns have changed and Learners now want to access and complete training when it is convenient for them. We allow them to do that.
