<td><p>The COVID-19 pandemic and physical distancing requirements has changed the face of education and training across all industries, however, it’s not all bad news for learners. Properly executed, virtual/online training courses have shown that they can be just as effective as the in-person classroom experience. Thanks to modern communications technology, the trainer can address multiple delegates at once, from multiple geographies, in real-time.</p>
<p>CESA has invested in the development of online training courses to assist its 580 member firms, contractors, and their clients to train their staff. With over <a href="https://www.cesa.co.za/sce/school-of-consulting-engineers/cpd-training/training-calendar/">60 different courses</a> available through a virtual platform, learning has become more accessible than ever before. <br />
CESA encourages every single company, regardless of its size, to invest in training its employees in one way or the other. This is not only a crucial step for employee development but is also necessary for business growth.</p>
<p>CESA's School of Consulting Engineering (SCE) has been presenting classroom training for the past twenty years. In the last few months, the SCE has pivoted, transforming all its classroom training into virtual training courses presented via Zoom. This allows individuals to attend courses from anywhere in the world and in the comfort of their office, onsite or home. </p>
<p>The recent changes in the nature of learning has made professional and personal development accessible to more people than previously, without compromising on quality. SCE training courses are all validated with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits, and comprise of theoretical training, interactive discussions, exercises and case studies that are deliberated on in break-away sessions. In a world forever changed, they key to professional development lies in an internet connection.</p>
<p>If real-time training doesn’t suit your schedule, the SCE also has a 24/7 e-learning platform which has pre-recorded webinars, training videos and recordings of some of the virtual classroom courses. The platform also offers access to CPD-approved self-study aid documents, such as journals, technical papers, industry related articles, conference papers and case studies. </p>
<p>Regardless of where you are in the world, if you want to keep your South African ECSA professional registration, SCE is the place to start. Thanks to this comprehensive virtual learning environment, your CPD points are a click away. What’s more, if you are heading up a voluntary association, you too could be offering the same courses to your members through the SCE e-learning platform. This is a great way to keep your members up-to-date and well-informed, while creating an additional revenue stream for your association. </p>
