Initial Professional Development
Organisations must have the best tools in place to ensure accurate tracking and verification of Initial Professional Development.
If you are a business, Institution, Trade Association or Professional Body responsible for tracking and managing people's personal learning and development, The ETB can help ensure accurate tracking and verification of their Initial Professional Development (IPD). There are many potential problems when tracking IPD:
- High drop out rates
- Manpower-intensive and time-consuming administration
- Slow completion of professional development
- Imprecise records
- Lack of accurate progress reports
The ETB's Professional Development System (PDS) is based on the industry leading platform from Skilsure Ltd. It is the new customer-centric IPD solution that enables anytime/anyplace information, constructive IPD activity, and communications activities.
