With an increasing demand for blending learning, smaller training companies will now be able to offer their clients eLearning solutions covering a whole range of themes: management, finance, professional development, communication, to name but a few.

CrossKnowledge Mentored Learning's offer is intended to complement classroom-training companies' activities with clients. By becoming a Value Added Reseller, training companies can substantially increase their range of courses without having to invest resources in creating content and developing the systems required to host courses online.

The CrossKnowledge Mentored Learning programme fits in with government training funding initiatives in the UK. Providers will be able to offer a wide array of leadership and management courses that are funded via the Skills Funding Agency. Partnering with CrossKnowledge can allow smaller companies to offer highly-sought-after training programmes, which are attractive to companies due to government incentives for training.

Diana Dwamena, Director of The Learning Nuggets Company, already a partner of CrossKnowledge comments, "Our collaboration with CrossKnowledge allows us to offer our clients an even wider range of eLearning courses and benefit from excellent content that the company has developed over the past ten years, drawing on the expertise of the CrossKnowlege Faculty of leading international business thinkers."

As part of the roll out of the new CrossKnowledge Partner Programme, CrossKnowledge is hosting a series of meetings across the UK in key cities, including London, Birmingham, and Glasgow. Keith Smith, UK Director of CrossKnowledge group, revealed, "For 2011 in the UK we have ambitious goals in terms of increasing our business volume through our channel and are organising a country-wide launch."
