Funded Training : Made Easy software is what the government should have introduced. "They ought to have contemplated the insight of inconvenience and endless paperwork surrounding the information required", says award winning entrepreneur Fiona Hudson-Kelly.

With no less than fifty different types of information from ethnicity to national insurance numbers required for each person, many employers have given up on the Government's flag ship training scheme.

It's just as bureaucratic for the training providers delivering Train to Gain programmes. Each trainer is required to conform to the endless paper chase, with the fear that if the data is not evidenced and countersigned in triplicate their funding will be vigorously retracted even if the candidate is eligible and has successfully completed their qualification!

Nobody denies that we need to raise the basic skill level of the UK's workforce. Employers need people who can read, write and do basic arithmetic - the 3 R's. Train to Gain is a great way for employers to enhance their workforce, with training for their least qualified employees generally fully funded. The problem is the endless collection of data and paperwork which outweighs the benefit of the funding both for the employer and the training provider.

Dynamic business leader Fiona Hudson-Kelly fell into the Train to Gain paper pitfall and scoured the market for an online solution to take the 'pain' out of their Train to Gain contract delivery. After several weeks trawling the market unsuccessfully for a solution, the dynamic duo decided to spin off a separate company of their own and develop an online Train to Gain tracking solution which enabled their previous employers to become the single most successful new provider of 2007.

The solution is called Funded Training : Made Easy, the software that takes the pain out of Train to Gain - www.FundedTrainingmadeeasy.co.uk

The Funded Training : Made Easy e-portfolio and learner tracking system can also be used for ESF funded projects, learners undertaking apprenticeship programmes and any commercially funded NVQ programmes.
