Interactive, Online Accredited CIBSE CPDs now available from Panasonic
21/04/2020
April 20, 2020 – The team at Panasonic has introduced a series of interactive, online accredited CIBSE CPD courses to enhance skills during these unprecedented times. The CPD courses have been developed by Panasonic and support learning in a variety of heating and cooling disciplines.
Panasonic’s CPD programme has been running throughout the year either at the company’s Bracknell HQ or in various locations around the UK and have been presented by the experienced and knowledgeable team at Panasonic. However, during these extraordinary times, these courses are now available in a digital format, using the video conferencing facilities via Microsoft Teams.
Mick Langford - Specified Sales Manager at Panasonic commented, “We recognise that times are challenging, with numerous people working from home, and looking to find ways of keeping busy. With many of our tools available through the Panasonic ProClub, we have also looked at our technical support and educational resources. We are pleased to be able to provide access to our training sessions by running the programme online, and judging by the initial comments, the sessions are proving useful.”
A recent delegate, Tyrone Lawson, Mechanical Associate of BSGUK who participated in the Gas-Fired Heat Pumps CPD commented, “I found the session to be very useful. The details provided were very clear along with the options available. The technical back up information to my queries was excellent and delivered very promptly.”
There is currently a choice of four accredited CIBSE CPDs that are running during April and May and are so far proving very popular. The sessions typically last approximately one hour and are free to participate. Delegates need to register in advance and are given the chance throughout the session to interact and ask questions.
