The BMF have partnered with Cortexa to provide their members with access to online training on topics and products that are unique to the Merchanting industry. Whilst the platform provides a wide range of business generic courses the BMF Campus solution is the only one providing access to content commissioned directly by your suppliers or the BMF.

Whilst access to the platform itself and course content comes at a separate cost to the BMF membership it has been competitively priced and scalable to ensure it is affordable to all.

In summary the Campus LMS provides the perfect opportunity to onboard new starters, fast track aspiring talent and support change experienced throughout the industry.

The BMF online training consists of a website hosted and maintained by Cortexa which is populated with a course selection of your choice. Once registered your staff are provided credentials to login and access these courses and their progress is tracked so they and their managers can monitor their progress. The site features required along with number and mix of courses and users is what determines the overall price.

The Campus platform comes either BMF branded with fixed features or branded for you by Cortexa with two feature set options. For simplicity we refer to these as tiers 1 to 3 with the BMF branded option set at Tier 1, which is considered ideal for smaller business in particular.

Primary course content: All platform tiers come preloaded with over XXX course many were commission by your major suppliers to provide training on their products and services.

Optional Course Bundles

To maximise the full benefits of the BMF Campus training we’d suggest that you add optional course bundles from those listed below. To decrease cost and administration course bundles were created to offer associated training into easily recognisable skills sets which can then be offered throughout your entire business at a fixed cost.

Any bundles selected must be retained for a minimum of 12 months but after that can be substituted for alternatives on our growing list. Payment options are equally flexible so can be settled as a single payment or spread throughout the year via direct debit. Importantly each of LMS Tiers on offer to BMF members can all access these bundles so despite differing staff numbers accessing the courses all can provide them at an equivalent cost per user.
