Cobham Technical Services (the new trading name of ERA Technology Ltd) is pleased to announce that its well respected programme of engineering training courses has received Continuing Professional Development (CPD) certification.

Cobham Technical Services has been running a regular programme of successful training courses for over twenty five years to help customers develop and maintain technical excellence. The course subjects which include EMC, environmental legislation, functional safety, military avionics standards, plant and power installations, safe design, and UKAS accreditation, are designed to increase technical capability and to maintain an awareness of changing regulatory requirements.

The concept of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is maturing both in the UK and internationally. In many countries it has been formally recognised for over 20 years. Indeed for many professions it is an essential requirement for maintaining membership of the relevant professional institution.

Neil Gardner, Head of AccessERA and Corporate Marketing at Cobham Technical Services, commented, “We are delighted to add CPD certification to the current IET endorsement of our engineering training course portfolio. This certification is additional external recognition of the high standard of training that is offered by Cobham Technical Services and in line with our prime objective of delivering quality-assured, high value-added, technical training programmes for our customers”.
