Institute launches online learning service
Howard Lake | 13 November 2008 | News
The Institute of Fundraising has launched its first online learning service to offer online general fundraising training.
Fundraising Learning Online (FLO) allows fundraisers to learn techniques and skills from other fundraisers in their own time and at their own pace.
Users can set up a personal profile which helps them to track their progress, allowing the review of responses to questions and scores achieved. There is also the option to contact other fundraisers, and share experiences, through a discussion forum.
The first course, ‘All About Fundraising’, is designed as an introduction for everyone, from new fundraising staff and volunteers, through to chief executives and trustees who make strategic decisions about fundraising.
Ten further technique-specific courses are planned additions to the site. All courses are to be based on the Fundraising National Occupational Standards.
