Mel Nicholson, Managing Director at MOL, explained how the change in learning has come about. “There is no doubt that the pandemic changed some aspects of our lives forever, and digital learning is one that MOL has continued to invest in to provide learning opportunities that work for everyone. As an online learning business, we are aware of the ongoing changes in our learners’ lives, and therefore we initially responded to the pandemic by quickly providing a positive online learning experience, with interactive virtual classes, videos, and tutor support, at a time when learners were looking for reassurance, guidance, and support.

"Alongside this came the recognition that our learners were logging in worldwide, from as far afield as the Middle East, as the technology enables them to study at any time of day or night. All of the learning materials are easily accessible, and, with webinar recordings, learners can access all the study support they need 24 hours a day."

A spokesperson for Corporate Vision explains, "Regardless of how large or small a business may be, all participants in the Global Business Awards are judged purely on merit. Therefore, we only commend the businesses and services that stand out from the crowd and have gone the extra distance to ensure their clients' satisfaction, which is a huge accolade for MOL."

The award is assessed on independent publicly accessible sources, which are evaluated alongside any material supplied by the nominee. A final judgement is then made based on several factors, such as business performance, longevity, business growth (either sustained or rapid), and any significant innovations or feedback from stakeholders.

MOL and its sister business, Total People, are part of LTE Group, one of the largest providers of apprenticeships and work-based learning in the North West of England and one of the UK’s largest social enterprises. John Thornhill, CEO of LTE, added, "At a time when the entire LTE Group is thinking much more strategically about how edtech and digital learning can support all forms of educational delivery, it is very pleasing to see the work by Melanie and all the team at MOL being recognised as a leader in the field."

MOL offers a wide range of industry recognised professional courses, ranging from CIPD HR, conveyancing, property, management and leadership, project management, and a brand-new digital learning course. All are supported by tutors who are industry experts, bringing the courses to life with real-world experience and added value, enabling learners to apply their knowledge and add value in the workplace straight away.

Complementing MOL’s offerings is its sister business, Total People, which provides a full range of apprenticeships to match MOL’s commercial courses, such as HR and Management level 3 to level 5 and Conveyancing level 4 and level 6.
