Education | Learning Management System
We’re excited to announce that British Gymnastics is updating the learning management system (LMS) that you know as the BG Academy.
The new LMS is a key part of the British Gymnastics learning and development strategic plan. This re-imagines the approach to learning and development and re-focuses how we can best support and re-inspire you and everyone who makes gymnastics happen. The LMS enables us to:
- improve your learning experience by adding more regular content drops you can access
- change the way our learning is designed
- implement a blend of new learning and assessment methods, whilst retaining the best of our existing approach.
The new learning management system will launch in January 2024, and to make this transition, the current Academy will no longer be available from 18 December 2023.
You will not be able to book onto courses while the learning management system is being transferred. We would encourage you, where possible, to book onto any January or February courses before 18 December.
What this could mean for you
On the new system, you will only have access to resources during your course registration period. If your course’s registration period has expired, these resources will not transfer onto the new system. We encourage you to visit the BG academy course pages and download any useful resources or information you may need for future use before the 18 December 2023. If you have any outstanding e-learning, we suggest you try to complete this before then too.
We are looking forward to sharing the new learning management system with you in the new year and are working to avoid disruption to your learning as much as possible.
