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.
-
Is the People Alchemy Learning Workflow Platform (LWP) data secure and fully GDPR compliant?
People Alchemy is hosted in a secure top tier secure data facility in the UK. All data at rest is encrypted. Our systems are regularly penetration tested and maintained in line with industry-wide data security best practice. Each user has a defined role and permissions which ensures they can only access the information that they need. People Alchemy complies with all relevant legislation including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
-
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.
-
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.
-
Can a pathway be paused if necessary?
The pathway can be paused if the learner is on sick leave or on holiday, or is just behind their schedule and needs some time to catch up.
-
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.
