Brightwave to build online examination tool for J D Wetherspoon

Pub company J D Wetherspoon has selected e-learning services provider Brightwave to develop an online examination delivery and administration tool.

The examinations are taken by pub and shift managers over a period of 12 months and cover areas such as kitchen procedures, food hygiene, product knowledge, health and safety, personnel policies, as well as profit and loss understanding.

Paula Goodwin, senior recruitment and training manager for J D Wetherspoon, said: "The online tool will help us reduce the costs of administering our examination process. The additional flexibility will help us better meet the training needs of staff across the organisation."

According to Brightwave, the online tool will provide staff with immediate access to examinations, mark the exams automatically on completion, and store the results automatically using a tracking system that integrates with J D Wetherspoon’s HR system.

Lars Hyland, director of learning services for Brightwave, said: "Online assessment and certification is one way to add more flexibility and responsiveness to the training and staff development process.

"At Brightwave we pay particular attention to integrating learning solutions into the workplace and have designed this solution to consider the particular needs of authentication and managing interruption. This holistic thinking is essential to truly reaping the benefits of e-learning."
