At IKON Training, we are committed to professional growth and development, continuously enhancing our approach to learning. Our new platform, IKON Academy, exemplifies this commitment, providing comprehensive resources to support diverse learning styles and organisational needs.
The IKON Academy is a user-friendly educational hub that supports our affiliate trainers and learners. It offers a one-stop pre- and post-course resource area for all learners to embed their knowledge, update their skills, and engage with peers in our community.
Our accredited trainers and learning experts have translated courses into helpful guides, interactive assets, engaging video demonstrations, and empowering resources accessible anywhere, on any device.
IKON Academy supports our Affiliate Trainers as they begin the IKON affiliate programme, and their in-house learners are trained through the programme.
It also benefits learners attending an IKON in-person course, ensuring they have the tools and knowledge to feel confident in the workplace.
Case Study: Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Our first course supported by IKON Academy is the IKON Affiliate Programme, in Breakaway Training. We were excited to see this platform’s transformative impact at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Training Needs Analysis (TNA): The Trust identified a critical need for Breakaway Training for 1,000 staff members and sought expert guidance to implement these programmes effectively.
Affiliate Trainer: A highly skilled and accredited professional delivering IKON training courses, who has completed a Train-the-Trainer Course and is onboarded to IKON processes.
Who is an Affiliate Learner? A staff member trained by an in-house IKON-affiliated trainer in an accredited IKON course, such as Breakaway, certified through IKON Training.
Our Breakaway course helps ‘at-risk’ staff groups remove themselves from potential harm, offering simple, effective skills and legal knowledge to safely disengage from aggressive situations. The course includes theory and physical skills, ensuring participants understand self-defence laws and can prevent escalations using learned strategies.
– Procedural and legal context.
– Distance, stance, and positioning.
– Breakaway and disengagement techniques.
By the end of the course, your team will be able to:
– Understand the law on self-defence.
– Remove themselves from aggressive behaviours.
– Prevent behaviours from escalating.
Course Completion Benefits:
– Certificate of attendance.
– Course workbook.
– Access to a dedicated delegate resource area via IKON Academy.
IKON Academy is a beacon of innovation and excellence in conflict resolution training. By offering flexible training resources, an expert-led community forum, and evolving skills and techniques, IKON Training empowers individuals and organisations to achieve their full potential.
James Crown, IKON Training Director with IKON Affiliate Trainers from Liverpool University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
‘James was great and really helpful. You could really see his skills and knowledge as he was teaching and then helping us fine tune our own techniques throughout the week. It ended up being a really enjoyable and memorable course!’
‘I found the whole thing really engaging. I enjoyed the opportunities to practice the skills and the presentation regularly and the constructive feedback really helped me to adapt throughout the course. I’m looking forward to training up other members of staff within the trust soon!’
Here are some of the highlights shared on social media:
