Continuing Professional Development through online training and courses
Continuing Professional Development, or CPD, is the process of achieving and documenting all of the beneficial skills, knowledge and experience that you’ve gained in a professional sense. They can be achieved formally or informally, through work or out of personal choice, but they must contribute to the improvement of you and the way that you work.
Through our experience as an eLearning provider, we have found that companies can struggle when finding time to fulfil staff’s CPD requirements. In one of the world’s
Training helps professionals to develop and reinforce their skills, as well as achieve new goals. It is essential to the improvement of the quality with which
Improving the Quality of Service
The eLearning solutions provided by EduCare offer a great way to achieve CPD, even in fast-paced and busy workplaces. EduCare has always been driven to supporting people in attaining the skills necessary to be confident and effective in their roles.
Well-planned training courses have been found to improve employee performance. It is a common business practice that if employees are required to develop their service, then they must undergo training. If professionals are limited in their capacity to learn and develop, it goes without saying that the quality of their service will remain stagnant.
A great example of how online CPD resources can benefit any business is a safer recruitment course. A safer recruitment course helps to improve hiring practices by allowing employers to ensure that staff are able to “carry out their obligations to a best practice standard”.
Developing Sustainable Business Practices
Here at EduCare, we believe that better-trained individuals are vital to establishing effective, sustainable business practices. CPD is not only capable of improving the quality of service, but employees see it as one of the main ways to achieve job satisfaction, job security and career growth.
Creating sustainable business practices is about building a company or workforce on the basis of retaining staff, improving job satisfaction and keeping capital within the business. Investing in the right training solutions can tick all three of these boxes. Burnt out staff, low job satisfaction and high staff turnover waste company resources and are difficult to maintain for a long period of time.
At EduCare, we dedicate resources to our staff’s CPD responsibilities every month. Through 30 years of developing training courses, we’ve learnt that it’s the best way to do business.
Working Example: Child Protection Training Online
We always use our example of child protection online training as a way to persuade CPD sceptics. Those who have completed any of our online safeguarding training courses will understand that this method of learning is both effective and great value.
Just like all our courses, EduCare’s online child protection training course can be accessed from a phone, tablet or laptop, anywhere in the world. The training course can be completed in one go, or in smaller portions — perfect for busy individuals. It can also be revisited at any time to ensure that learners have absorbed every bit of relevant information. The content is meaningful, helpful and for many settings where training is a mandatory requirement that has to be demonstrated to inspectors, essential. We firmly believe that completing Child Protection training, and indeed all Safeguarding training, should never be a box-ticking exercise. The same as earning CPD hours, content has to be meaningful, useful and informative, and should always develop the individual learner.
EduCare’s eLearning solutions are also very competitively priced, meaning that it isn’t just the larger companies that can achieve CPD through an online training course. Training should be accessible to everyone, as it is only through CPD that businesses and people can develop the confidence to grow.
