FirstCPD.com® is taking a fresh approach to learning that is unique in the marketplace. We offer a professional solution designed to develop our clients expertise in such a way that it is effective, timely and easily digested.

The Challenge

Many professional bodies demand a minimum level of Continued Professional Development (CPD) for all their members to ensure the quality of the services they provide. Historically, the challenges for CPD have been related to time, quality and cost. For the busy professional today, every hour is valuable and he cannot afford to be out of the office for even a single day attending a conference for CPD. Apart from lost fee-earning time, there are additional costs wasted on traveling to a training site.

The Solution

FirstCPD.com has created a solution that allows busy professionals to:

	Fulfil CPD requirements without leaving the office
	Reduce their annual course, travel and accommodation costs
	Take the CPD training at a time, pace and location that suits them
	Track and monitor their progress
	Develop and update their professional skills through an enjoyable medium that brings a high level of quality

How it Works

Our courses are presented in (1) conference format with several presenters who deliver their Papers online and (2) Single paper format. Each presenter is selected from the profession and is respected in their field with an industry-recognized expertise in some aspect of the chosen subject. They work with a team of experienced instructional designers and media developers to record and create a high-quality eLearning Paper. We recommend looking at our Demo to review an extract from a Paper. It is typically comprised of fully controllable video along with detailed lecture notes. The courses have a questions and answers section, where users can review the questions asked on the papers. There is also a facility to e-mail new questions to us. Each Paper takes approximately one hour to review and several related Papers are combined to make up a single Course.

All of this content can be accessed through the medium of eLearning. Each learner logs into a website from any internet-enabled computer using their own unique user name and password. Within that secure environment, they can select and explore Papers/Courses while the system tracks their progress. After completing a paper, users will take a course assessment to earn CPD units/credits from the relevant governing/accreditation body.

Now, busy professionals can fulfil their CPD requirements when it suits them and from the comfort of their own office/home.
