How to use it

If you have taken courses before, particularly online ones, that is great! You may have your own system of working and learning that best suits you. For those new to online training courses, it might take you a little while to adapt. So, we have some tips on the best way to approach our free online tender training.

Seeing so many classes may be a bit overwhelming to some. So, it is important to take each step at a time. Don’t dive in trying to learn as much as you can in the shortest amount of time. Rushing things means you are probably not paying as much attention as you should. So, breathe…and get yourself comfortable. Grab a tea or coffee…and some biscuits. And most importantly, a notepad!

Accessing the classes

As you access the Tender VLE website, you’ll be able to see the Tender VLE Services tab. Hover your cursor over this and the drop-down menu will show you three of our courses. The first one is Tender Introduction. Click here, and you’ll see all of the available classes.

It can be good to note down the different ones, so you know the different areas. This can make revision easier. Each of our classes will be taught by one of our experts. The class will feature a clip of our instructors talking you through the important information. Then, we will have written text to accompany the video.

Our advice

We suggest getting comfortable and making sure you are free of disruptions and distractions. A good learning environment is a key component in making sure you learn everything you need to! Keep a notepad handy, and jot down anything that stands out when you watch the videos. Our text will feature the video contents. But sometimes writing things down can help our brains to process and store the information.
