WE HARNESS OUR CREATIVITY INTO THE BEST LEARNING SOLUTIONS

Our mission is to deliver best-in-class learning programmes and systems which enhance business performance by providing measurable improvements in the skills, development and training of your personnel and learners. We create learning programmes and delivery systems that harness modern technology, responsive design, interactive digital media and learning theory to allow our clients to leverage internal talent to meet key objectives.

Based on an understanding of diverse learning styles and user experience expectations, we develop bespoke learning experiences which place the learner at the centre of engaging, individualized learning environments where they can build knowledge and apply it in real-world contexts.

We develop immersive learning solutions and specialised technical training programmes using engaging gaming and 3D technology to build interactive and multi-device learning solutions. Our solutions are delivered to the widest range of user devices, in a diverse home or workplace locations in a flexible manner to facilitate learning at any time or place.

TELL ME AND I FORGET, TEACH ME AND I REMEMBER, INVOLVE ME AND I LEARN

Our vision is to transform workplace learning and development by combining the latest digital technologies with best learning strategies to create the most effective learning environments for organisations and their employees. We believe that people learn best when they are given the opportunity to actively engage in their learning and apply it in real-world contexts. Learners should also have the freedom to experiment, make mistakes and learn from mistakes in a safe environment.

At Red Pen we recognise that people learn in different ways and often learn better when interacting in social and organisational environments. These can be accommodated by using a diverse range of media and approaches in a pedagogically principled way and by encouraging learners to share knowledge and collaborate with each other.

As Managing Director of Portobello Institute for over 20 years, Rebekah is recognised as a key influencer within the Facilities Management sector. Rebekah’s skill in being able to identify skills gaps for clients in the sector and present training solutions to those obstacles has been the foundation of Red Pen.

With extensive experience as an Educational Multimedia specialist and Computer Science Lecturer with Queen’s University Belfast, Paddy has been to the forefront of developing innovative pedagogical approaches and technology to facilitate learning for over 15 years.

We have an international client base with fundamental staff training requirement and needs in many areas, including: compliance training to prevent violations which could lead to legal liability; a legislative requirement for recordable training; dispersed work force requiring standardised training modules; content which accredited and certified by relevant professional bodies; large geographically dispersed workforces requiring repeated or refreshed training; risk management; address skills gaps which could incur cost to the organisation; and; accommodate multi-disciplinary teams with specialised training required based on differing roles.

Clients can chose from a library of accredited training courses or we can work with Subject Matter Experts to research, build and deliver new programme content according to your requirements.

We helps clients understand their requirements by analysing their training objectives and identifying the knowledge and skills gaps to be bridged. Taking into consideration learning objectives and constraints we will document all your functional, technical and learning requirements alongside work-plans, timelines and performance metrics.

Our learning consultants and instructional designers are educational professionals with wide-ranging academic backgrounds in pedagogy and technology enhanced learning.

I HEAR AND I FORGET. I SEE AND I REMEMBER. I DO AND I UNDERSTAND.

As experienced learning professionals we recognise the necessity to build solutions which accommodate diverse learning styles and user expectations. We also recognise that the best retention rates happen when learners are actively involved in the learning process rather than being passive receivers of information.

Using our in-house design methodologies and custom tools such as environment maps and user journeys, our instructional designs provide an active learning experience which encourages reflection, collaboration and practice activities to meet your learning goals, organisational culture and technical environment.
