The funding covers the majority of the funding for the year however we are asking all providers using Click to contribute £1 per learner, per month, plus VAT to continue accessing Click over the next 12 months from 1st April 2024.
That works out to be £12 per learner, per year, plus VAT for access to over 100 courses including the Care Certificate, Mandatory courses and a range of specialist courses. As well as all the new courses planned for 2024 and updates to Click. The Oliver McGowan eLearning is available upon request.
Our average price for non funded services to continue using Click would normally be £2.40 per learner, per month, plus VAT which is £28.80 a year per learner. This offer saves you £16.80 per learner, per year.
If you would like to continue to use Click, please complete the payment details link before March 31st 2024 in order to avoid any disruption to your service.
You may want to review your account and remove any learners that no longer work for your organisation to ensure you are only charged for those working in your service. You can find instructions on how to delete a learner here.
The Oliver McGowan eLearning is available as part of your access to Click. If you would like access please contact the team here.

GDPR
All accounts are set up independently with Grey Matter Learning. As a Local Authority, we cannot see any of the providers who access the system as part of our funded offer. These are set up independently and as such, any organisation will have oversight of their own accounts only. As a local authority Grey Matter Learning will send regular updates on the providers who are using the system, the number of learners they have set up and the total numbers of each course that has been taken across the county. This is the only data we receive. Grey Matter Learning has provided this level of access to a range of Local Authority providers since we started operating in 2006. Please take a look at the GDPR Statement from Grey Matter Learning.
FAQs
If I have offered a new member of staff a role how soon can they access? You can sign up any new staff as soon as you want them to access. This could be great use of time to complete training while waiting for DBS.
