Description

We are transforming the learning landscape in HMRC to deliver capability uplift and part of that work includes building out the learning ecosystem including providing online learning. Access to online learning allows staff to upskill wherever and whenever they choose, offering far greater flexibility at a lower cost than traditional classroom based learning.

Being able to access a wide range of appropriate learning material at a point that is relevant to work requirements will support development in-situ and provide immediate impact on problem solving. The solutions built are more likely to be developed effectively and so meet user requirements in the most appropriate way possible. Developers having access to, and so programming in, the latest available technology will mean that resulting products are more likely to be future-proofed in terms of maintenance and any enhancement needed


Deliverables:
The Client requires access on an individual basis to a variety of on-line training courses. Available courses must include (but not limited to);
• DevOps tools and techniques
• Risk Management
• Agile
• Agile Testing
• Agile Project Management
• Selenium
• Test Automation
• Scrum Master Training
• Mysql
• Test Automation
• Virtualisation
• Java (Beginner to advance)
• Security
• Linux
• HTML5
• Javascript

In addition to the training course provision, the Client will also require;
• The capacity for individuals to gain IT certification to validate skills learnt and evidence personal development
• Individual skill measurement to benchmark existing knowledge and map future learning requirements
• Technical assistance providing technical help within 2 working days


Accessibility:
Access will be from standard networked IT equipment (laptops and desktops), not from a standalone network. Access to the on-line training should be accessible via homeworking and via mobile devices so developers can access training modules from home.
The Client required an online training system to be accessible to 400 concurrent users/logins to the online system. The online system should be accessible from desktop computers, tablets and laptops.
CDIO require the ability to transfer licences from one individual to another to enable maximum benefit to be obtained from the online training.
CDIO will need to be able to undertake a compatibility / usability test to ensure the online content is accessible via and compatible with our firewalls / security etc.
