Programmes for existing Pathcare employees
In addition to our full-length programmes, various short courses in the areas of technical expertise, service quality, and business capacity are continuously on offer for PathCare employees nationally. Since opening the Academy doors in 2006, over 44000 participants have attended Academy short courses.
In line with the rapid increase in the use of technology and e-learning in education the PathCare Academy has an e-learning platform, known as the PathCare Academy. This Academy has grown significantly since the platform’s launch in 2015 and is currently the primary medium for short course delivery.
E-learning courses consist of theory, activity and assessment components which must be successfully completed for the delegate to receive recognition for the completion of the course. Currently forty e-learning courses are available on the system and new courses are added regularly.
Just over 4 000 employees have successfully completed e-learning short courses during the 2022/2023 training year. This includes a good national spread of delegates. The high delivery number may be ascribed to the fact that e-learning is not restricted to time and place factors. Training is therefore more easily accessible to employees, no matter where they are based, and employees can work through the training at their own pace.
