Frequently asked questions

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers. Everything you need to know about our Learning Workflow Platform (LWP) is right here, or talk to us.

  • Will People Alchemy run on mobile devices?

    Yes, the web-app is fully responsive and works very well on smartphones and other mobile devices. Also, when logged in on a mobile device a user can directly access the camera and upload video assignments to the system.

  • Can I build my own Care Certificate programme?

    Yes. Like other Trusts, you will already have your own programme and delivery method. We will help you transfer your programme onto People Alchemy, so you retain the essentials and gain the benefits of full digital delivery and programme oversight.

  • How does People Alchemy work if the learner does not have a computer or work email address, for example, logistics or retail staff?

    Learners will need a computing device with a browser and the internet to access People Alchemy. If the delegates don’t have access to a computer, you could provide some loan tablets they can use while they are on a programme, or they could use their phone if they are willing to do so. As for notifications, these can be sent by SMS, or email, or both.

  • How long does the pathway take to set up?

    Technically, not long at all. A simple pathway can be designed, built, and assigned to learners in a day although we would not recommend rushing it. The design stage can take time if the pathway is complex and remember, this is an innovative and different way of delivering learning which often requires a shift in thinking. People Alchemy is always on hand to help you get it right.

  • Can I amend the modules and content once it’s set up?

    The short answer is yes. Any content can be updated after the pathway has been assigned to learners who are progressing through it. The system has several update settings so you can update only content that users have not yet encountered, or update everything. You can even hide future content from learners so you can get them going on a pathway that isn’t yet fully designed and built.

  • Can I add notes to the learner's pathway and portfolio?

    Yes. There are several ways to add notes that are visible to the learner, or hidden from the learner but visible to admin users.

  • What about people who are not IT literate?

    We have found that there are very few people who cannot use the simple and intuitive system. People these days can use Facebook and other social systems. If they can do that, then they can use People Alchemy.

  • Does the platform offer plagiarism checking technology?

    Yes, the platform has an optional plagiarism checker plugin Plagiarism checking technology to enhance learning & development programmes

  • Can admin and other stakeholders add notes that would be available for any future investigation?

    Yes. There is an audit trail and the ability to add notes at both the admin and assessor level. The whole clinical skills pathway can be exported to a PDF to be passed to an investigator should that become necessary.

  • What’s the difference between ELFH and People Alchemy?

    E-Learning for Health (ELFH) is a platform that provides digital learning content on healthcare and medical topics. It offers structured elearning modules, but it is primarily a content library—it delivers knowledge but does not manage the full learning process. The People Alchemy platform, on the other hand, goes beyond elearning. It helps organisations structure, track, and manage the entire learning journey, ensuring that learners engage in all necessary activities—not just consuming content. For programmes like the Care Certificate, preceptorships, and clinical skills assessments this means:

    • A structured learning process – guiding learners through a sequence of activities over time, not just elearning modules.
    • Tracking all required components – including practical demonstrations, assessments, supervisor sign-offs, and reflections.
    • Ensuring knowledge application – helping learners demonstrate how they apply their learning in real-world scenarios.
    In short, ELFH provides valuable content, but People Alchemy ensures that learners complete the full journey—gaining, applying, and demonstrating competence in a structured and trackable way.
