Why Professional Assessment Ltd chooses iHasco for its own team training

• Consistent, quality training across a fully remote team means iHasco gives Professional Assessment Ltd one platform that delivers the same high standard of training to everyone. They have the completion rates to prove it.
• Staff fit modules around their working day without disrupting client commitments, and automated reminders keep the whole team on track without managers having to chase.
• With no central office and staff spread across the UK, iHasco removes the cost and logistics of face-to-face training entirely, delivering consistent learning at a fraction of the price.

When the training experts choose your training, it means something.

Back in 2020, when remote working became the norm almost overnight, Professional Assessment Ltd needed a way to keep development moving.

“We needed a method of just keeping people ticking over, by developing those softer skills, as well as people skills,” Managing Director, Linda Martin explains.

For a growing SME with a dispersed workforce, bringing everyone together for traditional, in-person training simply isn’t practical.

They needed a solution that would standardise learning, support ongoing CPD development, and fit naturally around busy client schedules – all without adding admin burden or unnecessary cost.

That’s where we came in.

What iHasco delivered:

• A simple, intuitive platform that removes unnecessary training admin and puts managers in control.
• Engaging, credible courses that experienced professionals actually complete.
• Flexible, cost-effective learning that works across a fully remote workforce.

What appealed first was simplicity.

The platform was easy to access. The courses were straightforward to assign. The LMS didn’t require layers of approval or complex processes.

“The content is right, and it’s pitched the right level,” Linda explains.
For an organisation deeply familiar with assessment design, that balance is important. Training needed to be credible and practical, without being overly academic or time-consuming.

“If you want something that’s great for induction, refresher training and something that is engaging and works quickly — [iHasco] is perfect.”

For busy professionals managing audits, assessments and compliance reviews, quick and engaging learning makes all the difference. Especially when they can complete their training on any device, between appointments.

Linda tells us that iHasco training allows her staff to “have control over their time.”

And when it comes to follow-ups, automated prompts make sure that nothing slips through the net.

“While the team are working virtually or they’re on client sites, having something that naturally prompts without you having to think about is again really useful. They can’t say that nobody’s nudged them.”

It’s a simple feature, but for a dispersed SME, it saves time and keeps training on track.

This wasn’t about surface-level compliance. It was about maintaining engagement and continuing development within a team of seasoned professionals, many of whom have strong L&D backgrounds themselves.

And when your people scrutinise training for a living, they tend to be discerning learners.

Linda says her staff “feel like they are using their time purposefully,” when they complete their iHasco training. And we take that as a huge compliment.

In many SMEs, managing training can quietly become a job in itself. Assigning modules, tracking progress, and sending reminders all add up.

At Professional Assessment Ltd, that friction simply isn’t there.

“Key people can assign units out easily,” Linda tells us. Managers have the autonomy to allocate training when needed, without lengthy approval chains.

Professional Assessment Ltd’s team balance client visits, audits, assessments and administrative responsibilities every day. Blocking out full days for training simply isn’t realistic, from both a budget and logistics perspective.

Gathering a national team in one location for face-to-face training means travel expenses, accommodation, venue hire, and lost working hours.

“We can bring people together in person for training, but that’s actually a big bill for us. So, another benefit [of iHasco] is you’re saving huge amounts of cost with virtual learning.”

Online training removes that logistical and financial burden, while still delivering consistent training across the business.

For Professional Assessment Ltd, choosing iHasco wasn’t about finding just another training provider — it was about finding a solution that could stand up to scrutiny, deliver real value and work seamlessly across a virtual workforce.

When the experts in assessing training choose your training, that says everything.
