Jun 6, 2011 - Online CPD Academy goes live
PoLR were delighted to be selected as the web design company that were going to bring Glasgow Caledonian's Online Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Academy online as part of the School of Engineering and Built Environment.
Today was launch day for Glasgow Caledoninan online CPD Academy which offers businesses the chance to allow their staff to partake in professional development courses without having to travel to university to fulfil them.
“The GCU Online CPD Academy was established in response to feedback from firms who were concerned that staff were missing out on vital Continuous Professional Development opportunities due to work commitments.”
PoLR provided the e-commerce platform to enable the online CPD Academy to offer it's courses on a 'pay-as-you-go' basis with courses beginning from £25. This e-commerce cart was also developed to offer video downloads as part of the teaching process that allows students to participate on a distance learning basis.
The 18 courses on offer from the online CPD include:
estimating for construction work
planning construction projects
historic buildings & conservation
Glasgow Caledonian being one of the biggest universities in Scotland and having 17000 students made it even more of an honour for PoLR to work with such an established and influential institution and even better to bear witness to this project going live.
