Professional courses go digital

As the end of the year approaches, members’ thoughts will be turning towards reviewing their continuing professional development (CPD). But this year, developing new skills and knowledge will be very different.

The pandemic has forced a dramatic shift in the working environment, with training and development equally affected. More people are working remotely, which is likely to become a permanent feature of daily life, so conferences and seminars are also switching to the new normal of a virtual environment.

ACCA UK has accordingly made the decision to launch Professional Courses Online – a series of events that will be entirely digital, catering for members’ continuing professional development needs. This complements an existing wide range of free online resources available for members.

However, we aren’t simply moving professional development modules online. The new digital benefits will include giving members access to industry-leading learning resources that are flexible, high quality and relevant. Members will be able to gain insight and learning from expert speakers and have the convenience of joining live sessions as well as enjoying on-demand access.
