BP Retail UK, BP’s forecourt and fuel business, operates over 270 company-owned sites across the UK, with a further 1,200 dealer sites. It employs around 4,000 people. The company’s managers are quick to satisfy their. customers’ increasing demand for a wide variety of food and other products sold through forecourt stores - the recent introduction of M&S Simply Food inserts into the stores being just one example. With the broader product range, however, comes an increasingly costly and complex training requirement for BP Retail UK’s existing and new staff. To date, training this training had has been delivered off-site as BP Retail UK had no means of deploying e-learning directly on-site to its 4,000 000 forecourt staff. at hundreds of forecourt sites throughout the UK. In response to this, ThirdForce, a UK e-learning innovator, is now supplying BP Retail UK with a complete outsourced solution - delivered using the ThirdForce El-Box™, a portable, touch-screen PC-tablet pre-loaded with dedicated e-learning training and requiring no IT skills. The e-solution also includes implementation and learner support, making it accessible to all levels of ability and, crucially, allowing access to learning in almost any workplace environment. ThirdForce is also to provide its AIMS Perform enterprise-wide training management system, allowing BP Retail UK to manage, schedule, administer and report on all training of its staff. The AIMS suite also provides BP Retail UK with an instant training and compliance record for all staff, thus meeting the needs of environmental health, licensing officials and the Health & Safety Executive.
