New online CPD service from Nelson Croom

Nelson Croom, the award-winning online learning developer, today launches a new online CPD service for accounting and finance professionals. accountingcpd.net provides accountants with a range of online CPD for technical and business skills including bestselling courses Business Performance Management and Strategic Financial Management. The new initiative creates a community for accountants where they can learn and develop their professional skills.

"We're creating a real community and network for accountants. CPD is about so much more than a tick-box exercise of relevant learning. We work hard to create genuinely engaging courses which impart knowledge and develop skills, and we never underestimate the importance of peer-to-peer learning. Our peer-enriched learning courses embrace this collaborative approach and we will extend this even further with accountingcpd.net. Watch this space for more developments!" says Jacqui Nelson, Elearning Consultant, Nelson Croom.

accountingcpd.net provides high quality accounting CPD that meets the requirements of the UK accounting bodies' CPD schemes. Accountants are required to demonstrate their continued development and maintenance of their professional knowledge and skills. Every accounting body in the UK has a CPD scheme that their members must adhere to. Accountingcpd.net courses can be used by ACCA, ICAEW and CIPFA members as verifiable CPD and are accredited by CIMA. Each online course provides 4 hours of CPD that learners can use in their workplace. For a limited time, accountingcpd.net is offering Ethical Issues: Professional Relationships - equivalent to one hour's CPD - free to new members.

"We've been working with professional bodies to help them provide their members with creative, accessible and relevant learning solutions since 2000. We've built up a wealth of expertise in providing effective professional development solutions and the authors of our off-the-shelf courses are some of the leading names in their field. The feedback that learners give us shows that our courses provide the professional development that they need, in a way that suits them - over 95% of learners would recommend a course to a colleague. We believe that our learning is representative of the best in professional development and we hope that by launching this service directly to accountants more people can benefit from the learning that we offer" comments Alan Nelson, Managing Director, Nelson Croom.
