Benefits of Continuing Education (CE) Blended (Online + Skills Session) Courses

There are never enough hours in the day- work, family, grocery shopping, and maybe a social life!?! Add in continuing education (CE) for the job you love, but your field is constantly innovating and changing, and it is hard to find the time. Have you ever thought of taking part in your continuing education classes online?  

Blended classes, where the course work is completed online followed by an in-person skills session, offer a range of advantages that make them an attractive option. The convenience and flexibility of completion of the course work online allows you to learn at your own pace and on your schedule, which is particularly beneficial when you have work or family commitments. Then putting the course work knowledge into practice in a face-to-face skills session, with experienced instructor oversight, allows for refinement of the skill and confidence in its application.   

Completing the course work portion online offers several benefits that make them an attractive option:

  • Flexibility: Online classes allow you to learn at your own pace, on your schedule, and in your comfy clothes. Who would not like that?

  • Convenience: Learn at work, at home, or wherever you have Internet access. Then come in for a brief skills session

  • Personalized learning: Tailored to meet the specific learning needs you need. You can rewind and review course materials as often as necessary to grasp the concept fully.

  • Actionable: The ability to immediately apply what you have learned in your role.

Overall, blended classes provide an excellent opportunity to pursue your continuing education and achieve your career goals in the best way for you!  Learn in this blended format from our experts at ACLS Academy!
