Highlighting the benefits of the online delivery of the CPD Certificate, Dee Kehoe, CPD director at Engineers Ireland, said: “The online delivery of this programme ensures graduates have the flexibility and accessibility to enrol, regardless of their location, and join live, interactive virtual training modules.
"Through Engineers Ireland’s online Learning Management System, graduates will also gain access to a plethora of supplementary learning materials to ensure they get the most from each classroom session.”
“Day 1 is a fast paced, action packed, highly interactive fun day,” added Phil Kildea, trainer and executive coach. “It deliberately sets the tone for the programme; giving participants a great opportunity to get to know each other better and learn from their shared experiences.
Broad range of topics
"It covers a broad range of topics that get participants thinking about and acting on areas which are essential to their future professional development, from professionalism in the workplace to collaboration and teamwork.”
Having recently completed the CPD Certificate in Professional Engineering, Murphy International engineer Daniel Wilson said: “The course was well structured with a nice balance between the tutor’s presentations and group activity.
"All tutors were engaging and promoted discussion amongst the group. The group presented a unique opportunity to work with people from different disciplines of engineering. The learning contracts have been hugely beneficial in creating SMART objectives for my future. The knowledge I have gained will help me during my graduate programme immensely.”
