E.learning Age, Mar 2008

ILX Group has announced that it has been appointed to provide 25 financial and commercial awareness e-learning courses to Hilton Hotels as part of a three-year deal.

This international brief will be responsible for implementing training courses through a blended learning approach for more than 65,000 people in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Hossam Haggag, Director of Learning and Development, Hilton Hotels Europe, said: "If we used traditional learning methods, we would have required the assistance of a significant number of HR staff to support our extensive range of training initiatives. Through our continuing partnership with ILX, we will be able to complete more than 10,000 courses each year using their distinctive approach to learning."

Hilton Hotels wanted to ensure it had the tools in place to enable it to respond to the needs of its incredibly diverse workforce, taking into account the many different languages spoken as well as individual's available time. "In working with ILX Group we are able to provide courses in more than seven different languages," said Haggag. "Our team members are also able to enjoy the flexibility to learn at work or home as these e-learning courses are accessible 24/7."

Eddie Kilkelly, Operations Director of ILX Group, said: "Being involved with a company as deeply committed to training as the Hilton Hotels, with its own university and its belief that training opportunities should be offered to everyone across the company wherever and whoever they are is exciting and fulfilling. The Hilton Hotels is a brilliant exponent of our methodology."
