Case study: Youth Scotland

With an already packed training calendar, Youth Scotland were looking at how they could provide specialist online training to their members - but without increasing the workload for an already busy team.

The opportunity to offer online, user-led learning, hosted by Selinger Consultants, that met the needs of their members and could be accessed anytime, anywhere was the perfect solution.

For Youth Scotland, Writing Successful Funding Bids online learning worked because:

• It could be easily promoted by existing member communications channels

• No increase in staff resource needed to deliver the course

• Met a specific need for members in terms of format and content

• They got monthly reports provided on sign ups, completions and user evaluations.

Members of Youth Scotland told them that as a result of accessing this course;

• “The funding application process is much clearer to me, now I know where to start.”

• “I can apply with a more rounded knowledge and with a more considered approach. I feel more confident and positive in applications.”

• “I haven’t yet had experience of writing funding applications, so this has been a good starter course for information on this. I will hopefully be able to support my organisation with this process now.”
