Course Search Facility Launched
06 Jun 2008
The Register has launched a unique on-line search facility which lets members and employers find the most appropriate training courses for them in their area.
Currently members are able to search for training providers who offer qualifications that give entry to the register as well as those that carry CPD points. But until now these searches - which run into thousands on a weekly basis - have been limited to the training provider's contact details.
The new search facility, which went live on June 6th, now lets any visitor to the REPs' website search training (both qualifications and endorsed CPD) by key word, category of training, training provider name, location and date range. Having found the training they are interested in the new system details date and time, location, venue and cost of the training as well as the number of CPD points awarded, a description and the ability to show an expression of interest by provisionally booking on to the directly with the training provider.
At the moment any approved and endorsed course has been listed for free on the search directory with scope for training providers to add additional details and information. Registrar Cliff Collins said:
"This is a huge undertaking by the Register but one which, we feel, will be of enormous benefit to our members. They will be able to hand-pick the course that matches their needs most closely and book it on-line in one sitting rather than having to wade through mountains of literature. We hope training providers will be as thrilled with this as we are and will support it as much as possible. We will also be offering a clear distinction between training which leads to a qualification and that which just goes to support CPD."
